Reflections From Sunday Evening

We gathered to worship this weekend and were all reminded that next weekend is "Faith in Action" weekend. Next Saturday and Sunday we will designate times from 9-12 and 1-4 on Saturday for service projects. We will repeat the activities on Sunday. From 9-12 and 1-4 we will put our faith to work through a variety of service projects in our community. We invite you to choose a time frame and offer yourself in service.
We gather to worship week after week and sing praise to the Lord - pray - hear the Word of God read and proclaimed - We gather for Sunday School classes and small groups. Many of us have done this for years. Through all these experiences we have been being formed by the Lord.
Next weekend we will take our spiritual lives that have been molded by God outside the sanctuary and into the world. We go in the name and Spirit of Jesus. We go to take the love of Christ to the world. I believe when we go to serve we will meet Christ in the lives of those served. We will be met by the risen Lord as we step forward. We have life changing possibilities before us.
We are inviting you to join us for 3 hours next weekend to serve. Following our service opportunities we will all gather at 4:30 at Park Hill South High School to worship.
The three hours you give to serve others will make a difference in your life. The three hours you give to serve others has life changing possibilities.
Three hours - Three hours out of your day, your weekend, your week. Three hours out of a lifetime that can change your life and change the world.
My prayer is that by engaging in service opportunitites we find ourselves developing service lifestyles!
It's been a good day. I hope you've had a good day too.
