Be The Church

As a church, we are on a journey to not just go to church, BUT to actively BE THE CHURCH.   Each week you are encouraged to do something for someone in the community, in our journey to BE THE CHURCH.


Suggestions/Ideas for BEING THE CHURCH:
>Mow someone's yard (for free).  
>Baby-sit/provide childcare for someone (for free).
>Visit someone in a nursing home or a shut-in.
>Send a letter, card, email or text of encouragement
>Bring flowers to someone who needs to be uplifted & reminded that there are people who care.
>Invite someone out to lunch (and pay for them).
>Pay for the order of the car behind you in the drive-thru OR for the order of the person in line behind you.  Ask the team member to give them our church card, or say "Jesus paid it all" or God loves you."
>Volunteer with a non-profit community organization (Comfort Care Women's Health, Love INC, Habitat For Humanity, Salvation Army, Food Pantry, Etc.)
>Donate food to our Helping Hands Food Pantry or some other food pantry.
>Do a random act of kindness.
>Weed a neighbor's or a shut-in's garden.
>Get groceries for a shut-in or someone who's ill.
