Serving is a cornerstone of Neighborhood Life for a variety of reasons: Jesus lived and commanded it; we sense that our souls need it; a watching world recognizes the disconnect between our message and our lifestyle if we don’t serve; and, of course, people in need will benefit from being served.
Neighborhood Life puts us in more regular contact with people close to us, who, once we get to know them, inevitably reveal ways we can serve them: the elderly couple, the family with a new baby, and the single mom all live within a stone’s throw of each of us (maybe they are us). They also become a great group of people to serve with. Our Tables will be helping to build a Habitat for Humanity house together this fall, for instance, and other opportunities to serve in our community will certainly present themselves.
Since Neighborhood Life is inter-generational, you have the opportunity to serve with your entire family, an experience we value as a church seeking to connect families. Few things will match the fulfillment or impact in our community that serving in Christ’s name will bring.
