Taking Care of Widows

How do you take care of widows in your church? Why is it important?
Scripture makes it clear that widows are to be cared for by the church. 1 Timothy 5:3ff tells believers that they are to "Honor widows who are truly widows."  James 1:27 also tells us that true religion includes taking care of widows. Christ condemned those who "devoured widows" (Mark 12:40). How can the church practically care for the widows in their church? We gave a few ideas today:  cleaning, cooking, shopping, errands, calling them, praying for them, financial help....... The list could go on. We hope this discussion has been a help to you as you  consider how you can do your part to honor the widows in your church.
