On October 26, the Being the Church Mobile Houseless Ministry had a big outing with our Jumpstart Partner Jamie Armstead and his food truck, plus Pastor Dan Lewis. In addition to a hot meal, we distributed a lot of clothes, hygiene kits, and shoes. We have seen a shift in the location of our friends. The City has rousted (or found shelter) for many of our community who were south of Anaheim. More persons are now coming from RV’s parked along the River north of Anaheim Street. Our critical need remains men’s and women’s everyday pants, preferably jeans. Please drop items off weekdays at church offices, or Sunday’s during coffee hour. A special thanks to our Wednesday dinner church who packed 96 hygiene kits on a recent evening. Our team will distribute those kits during our November outing. Questions or more info.?

Specifically, donations of men’s and women’s jeans and shorts are needed. Please bring items to local church offices for distribution. Church volunteers staff the donations table where clothes, shoes, socks, hygiene kits, flashlights, blankets, toilet paper and paper towels, dog food and snacks are all distributed. Jamie Armstead with Jumpstart Industries operates the food truck. Clergy serve communion and offer prayer. All of our churches contribute to this ministry where we serve about 50 to 60 people each month. Most are encamped within one mile of our mobile site. We see familiar faces and new faces. Many are awaiting a housing voucher from the City of LB Health Department multiservice center, and will eventually move to an apartment at a converted motel. The Homeless Services Bureau of the Health and Human Services Department of the City of Long Beach is partnering with us monthly!

Being the Church, Long Beach will be celebrating both by hosting an important workshop on May 16 at Grace UMC. All are invited to attend.

LET GO OF GUILT AND SHAME. Photo by Beyzaa Yurtkuran on Pexels.com While we experience JOY, While we seek and find COMMUNITY, … we must also work to let go of any guilt or shame that may get piled onto it. God needs you and I to experience JOY whenever we can – especially now – so that we can help the world when we are ready and needed. We must not let the power of guilt and shame strip away what God needs us to do. — Our joy gives us the capacity to be healing agents; to do what is needed when times get tough. https://beingthechurchlb.org/blog/there-are-lessons-in-this-darkness-caring-for-the-soul monthly 0.5 2024-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d20fa228334e019606c362/7eb3e725-46f1-498f-888f-ddff780c3e9d/breath_20069c+%284%29.jpg Blog - There are lessons in this darkness - Caring for the Soul. - by guest blogger, Coach Rebecca Romo of “Meaningful Life Cultivation” https://coachromo.com/ Nov 7, 2024 https://beingthechurchlb.org/blog/enduring-grace monthly 0.5 2024-10-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d20fa228334e019606c362/5c31168f-c597-467c-b9b6-1f34aba261c0/default.jpg Blog - Enduring Grace - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d20fa228334e019606c362/50d164a5-2e36-4554-86c2-7570a52cc124/theleocottage-3-3023cb2cd7d64351a99d03760c246fde.jpg Blog - Enduring Grace - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d20fa228334e019606c362/3487e9f8-17af-41f4-99fe-b12e29c42818/9f53202902c5aa8b17d0d57ae405dbde.jpg Blog - Enduring Grace - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d20fa228334e019606c362/d2c35268-3c70-4c19-af89-7d9c82614caf/images.jpeg Blog - Enduring Grace - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d20fa228334e019606c362/f777da0c-c2b9-4896-935a-54b85055da10/photo-1586023492125-27b2c045efd7-1.jpeg Blog - Enduring Grace - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://beingthechurchlb.org/blog/toy-drive-help-every-toy-will-bring-joy-to-a-child-in-our-community monthly 0.5 2023-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d20fa228334e019606c362/1701442166868-ZHXA2U5ZAT58EM8YFXDH/Red%2BAnd%2BYellow%2BIllustration%2BChristmas%2BToy%2BDrive%2BInstagram%2BPost-2.jpg Blog - Toy Drive Help - Every toy will bring JOY to a child in our community. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://beingthechurchlb.org/blog/spirituality-stories-of-faith-compassion-and-community-engagement monthly 0.5 2023-09-29 https://beingthechurchlb.org/blog/embrace-the-path-of-spiritual-seeking monthly 0.5 2023-09-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d20fa228334e019606c362/b970b625-96ac-473d-abc0-4c06664cdf8d/GettyImages-180833907.jpg Blog - Embrace the Path of Spiritual Seeking What is a spiritual seeker?
