For the next several weeks, I will be sharing some simple ideas for summer service projects in the Prayerful Pause. My hope is that God will use these simple acts of service to share love and encouragement with others. All of these summer service projects will be low cost and easy to do from home with your family. For this week’s Summer Service Project, I invite you to pause and write a hand-written note of encouragement to a person serving in the military.
You can send a note of encouragement to an unnamed service member through a wonderful organization in Duluth, Georgia called Hugs for Soldiers. In fact, Hugs for Soldiers is a ministry of Duluth First United Methodist Church, and they share encouraging notes with active-duty service members serving all over the world.
If you would like to write a note, be sure to check out Hugs for Soldiers letter writing guidelines at https://www.hugsforsoldiers.org/cards-and-letters and then mail your card to:
HUGS FOR SOLDIERS
Duluth First United Methodist Church
3208 Duluth Hwy. 120
Duluth, GA 30096
Before you mail your letter, please pause and pray for the person that will receive it and ask God to encourage him or her as they serve!
