Joseph Storehouse
Meeting the Need
We aim to meet the spiritual, emotional, physical and practical needs of those in our congregation and community. The purpose of the Joseph Storehouse is to freely provide assistance to those who are in need. We have been called to bear one another’s burdens and thus fulfill the law of Messiah.
The following scriptures reflect the heart and vision of this ministry:
“If there is a poor man of your brethren, within any of the gates in your land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart not shut your hand for your poor brother, but you shall open your hand wide to him and willingly lend him sufficient for his need, whatever he needs… you shall surely give to him, and your heart should not be grieved when you to give to him, because for this thing the Lord your God will bless you in all your works and in all to which you put your hand.” Deuteronomy 15:7,8,10
“Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods and divided them among all, as anyone had need. So continually daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart.” Acts. 2:44,45.
“Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.” Galatians 6:9,10
We are in partnership with Cobs Bakery in Calgary and have a fresh delivery of Bread every week to give to members of our congregation and to those in need in our community. Once a month we have a fresh delivery of fruit and vegetables that we package and distribute to those in need.
