“For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.” Matthew 25:35-36
It all started when…
My niece showed up at a family gathering a few months ago wearing a flannel shirt with a heart logo stating, “We ❤️ BattleCreek”. She explained that the new community she started teaching in was passionate about showing their love and appreciation for their community.
When The Commons Church started in 2014 we had created t-shirts that stated, “We ❤️ Rochester, NH”. The shirts started many conversations because there was a lot of negativity about our community. With the shirts, we were able to share that our vision was one of restored people and revitalized communities!
In the 10 years since we have grown to love our community even more. We want to see a resurgence of love for Rochester (and our surrounding communities). We have resurrected the t-shirts with a new logo, added in some flannels, hats and bags and want to invite you to join us. You can shop for merchandise to show your support and wear it in the community while you serve your neighbors!
