LOVE - The Great Commission

 




"The Great Commission" in action......

"Six years ago - a small fish fry in a driveway with 4-5 families....having fun to get to know some of their neighbors. They enjoyed it so much, several other get-togethers were planned to help create a sense of community in the neighborhood. The following year, a larger block party where 75 adults and kids attended...and the parties continued to grow from there. 
They began to see God do something really special!


Common ground was built over shared interests, hopes, and concerns.... a sense of mutual respect and need for one another."
 

“It is important to remember that we don’t engage in the needs, dreams, and pains of our communities so that they will become Christians; rather we engage the community because we are Christians. We don’t serve to convert, but we serve because we have been converted". 
 The Art of Neighboring
