I belong to Word of Life Fellowship, a non-denominational church, in Mi Wuk Village. I have been on the receiving end and the giving end of what this church believes in. When we are without money and need food, they are there to give us coupons for the grocery store. I've seen then pay for prescriptions, PG&E, propane bills and rent when families don't have enough. When someone is sick, meals are brought in and the house is cleaned and laundry done. When someone needs a ride to the doctor, someone will step up and drive them. The older people that can't get out and get their own wood will find a bunch of young people in their driveway with cut up wood or if there is snow these same young men will show up and shovel their driveways and walkways. It is an amazing thing to see the example that these people are in our community. I appreciate what I have learned about caring for those around us. Makes you feel like you are not alone. You don't have to be a member of this church to have them reach out to you and nothing is required or asked of in return. It's just a show of love. It's what the church used to be when this nation first started.
