Mustard Seed Ministries
March 18, 2009. We held our first official "Mercy Ministries" Meeting for Harbor OB. We met at "You're Mama's Mug" Cafe in OB had about 10 church members who came out. We also had amazing guests/visitors who showed up from "Mustard Seed Ministries." These people are a family from Oregon who sold all they own, bought an RV, and travel around the U.S. living and serving the homeless. They have been doing this for about 9 months and happend to stop in OB the night of our meeting, and share their story with us. Check them out at http://mustardseedministries.wordpress.com/
They also invited us to serve the homeless at a BBQ they were hosting on the beach at Saratoga Park the Friday after our meeting, March 20. Some of our members went out to this BBQ and it was a great time.

April 1, 2009. 2nd Mercy Ministry Meeting @ "You're Mama's Mug" Cafe in OB. Talked about starting a project called "Laundry Love" where we have coin containers in all the Harbor churches. We collect coins to help bring homeless to laundrymats in OB and do their laundry with them/form friendships with them.

We talked about the focus of Mercy Ministry events: to build community and intimacy among ourselves and OB residents, especially vulnerable ones. To open our eyes to global and local ways to share, serve and love.
