“Jesus is calling us to be his hands and feet, and if there's someone sitting there listening today thinking I'm not sure if I'm supposed to do this, I want you to stick around because we got to take a break, but we're going to come back and hear more from Susan, and there's other ways that we can help, and so we want to talk about that today.”
