West Market Street, the block just west of Muirs Chapel Road, is getting a bit of a facelift. As seen in the above photo, Family Harvest Outreach is getting their trim painted. After a deep-freeze this week, having the temperature reach 50 yesterday made it seem like a heat wave. Plus, it was warm enough to paint. The church, a merger of a couple of Pentecostal congregations has a diverse membership. In spite of their financial struggles, they remain true to their vision of helping those in need.

Just down the street Goodwill Industries opened their newest store in Greensboro. It is clean, spatious, bright, and well stocked. Yesterday, the parking lot, while large, was filled to capacity. So, someone in need, could get a meal at Family Harvest, and, with a ten-dollar bill, head to Goodwill and find an outfit to wear to work. Increasingly, churches are realizing their role of helping people with their basic needs. If you want a religion that is part of the Holiness, Fundamentalist movement, this would be a good church to visit. If your beliefs are otherwise, the church would gladly accept donations for the community service they perform.
