I am telling you, cityserve is turning out to be a “don’t miss it” weekend. I love the fact that we cancel our worship gatherings to serve in the community. I love the fact that families and life groups serve together. I love the fact that multiple churches are joining hands to work together.
But even bigger than all that, I love the fact that we are re-writing the DNA of the church in the city. It’s not about the event; it’s about the planting of seeds. If this one weekend was so good/fun/effective, why not do stuff like this on a regular basis? Why not take the family out on a Saturday and volunteer some time to help a neighbor? Why not gather the life group, buy some groceries, and deliver them to hungry folks in town? Why not __________________? (that’s where you fill in the blank with the good deed thing that the Holy Spirit just whispered to you!)
Get involved in helping others. It is good for them, and it’s good for you…and you never know what conversations will result. That’s the stuff of the kingdom!
You feeling me, dog? (Sorry, I watched American Idol with the fam tonight…)
