I was extremely proud of our church on Saturday in Syracuse. We had about 130 people take a few hours out of their busy schedules to serve our community. And you if were a part of the Binghamton group it was a whole day! In Auburn we had about 60 people host a great benefit for Dave Stellmack.
I know everyone is busy and there are many other things you can do with your time. But there were so many of you who choose to help others. It is really reflective of God’s heart…..AND it was a lot of fun!
After a month of focusing in on reading about Jesus, it was good to step out and act like Jesus. I hope we, as a church, will always keep that balance. I hope we can keep learning, and keep applying that knowledge. We will be blessed if we do these things.
I would love to hear some feedback about how your time went during Saturday Serve and if you have any suggestions for next time.
it was a great idea and a wonderful time. I enjoyed meeting people that go to our church and talking with the neighbors near it. One gentleman asked me if we were raising money. I told him no, just God’s love, he smiled and said thanks.
For us it was a great way for us to involve our kids in serving outside the church. It gives us an opportunity to show our kids what it means to “be the church”
It was good. I know the woman in whose house we worked was thankful to have the work done and I am thankful to have been part of her happiness.
