NEW NEAR Project Idea
How about this for a NEAR project idea - A Grief Support Mission for our community?
I surveyed one church's approach and found this:
A Mission Statement:
The Bereavement Ministry of Springfield Baptist Church provides hope for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one. We endeavor to be a source of love, comfort, encouragement, and support as the bereaved journeys from mourning to joy.

If God Could
If God can hang the stars on high,
Can paint the clouds that drift on by;
Can send the sun across the sky,
What could He do through you?
If He can send a storm through space,
And dot with trees the mountain’s face;
If He, the sparrow’s way can trace,
What could He do through you?
If God can do such little things
As count our hairs, or birds that sing,
Control the universe that swings,
What could He do through you?
G. E. Wagoner
