Berean Church in Lillington, N.C., hosted a community outreach event offering practical support and spiritual encouragement to local residents.
With the support of Lovel Spence, church pastor, members and volunteers gathered to distribute food, clothing, books, and inspirational literature. Prayer and spiritual conversations were also offered, creating moments of connection and encouragement for all who stopped by.
The event served as more than a distribution effort — it was a space for listening. Through genuine conversations, church members gained valuable insight into the community’s most urgent needs. These interactions helped to shape future outreach efforts, with plans to collaborate with other churches and local organizations to better serve residents of Lillington.
“It wasn’t just about giving — it was about hearing people’s stories and offering hope,” said one volunteer. “We came to bless others, but many of us left feeling just as blessed.”
The day was marked by compassion, fellowship, and a shared sense of purpose. Attendees expressed gratitude for the personal care and attention they received, while volunteers described the experience as spiritually enriching and deeply meaningful.
Organizers were intentional that the outreach aligned with the church’s mission to be a consistent presence of service and love in the community. “We are committed to being a light in Lillington,” said Spence. “This is just one step in our ongoing journey to meet both the spiritual and practical needs around us.”
Berean plans to build on the momentum of this event by hosting additional outreach programs throughout the year. With continued prayer and guidance, the church hopes to remain a beacon of hope and compassion in the lives of those it serves.
