Yesterday I posted a recap of The City Church's first "SERVE," but as I reflect on the day, I continually find myself remembering that our work was to...- Display God's redemption to others ("echo the gospel")
- Love our neighbors
- Seek the welfare of the city
But after a few days to process, I want our church family to consider HOW we did all these things? So, even if you weren't at Nash Elementary on Sunday but especially if you were...
- HOW did our work display God's redemption to others?
- HOW did our serve love our neighbors?
- HOW did our actions seek the welfare of the city?
I'll get us started, and I invite you to post below, or even better, join this conversation on The City Church's online network! Think. Reflect. Post. And then we grow together.
- Jesus grew in wisdom & stature: pre-K through 5th-graders are in the middle of that, and we're providing a means by them to learn and grow.
- The pattern of our day, which started with work (do you realize that collectively, we worked over 90 hours!) then a time of rest (eating, playing, and enjoying the beautiful day) reflected God's pattern in creation.
- When we arrived, Nash's library was there , but it wasn't sufficient. When we left, we had made it into something it wasn't - we had brought it to fulfill its right purpose. In other words, something from outside had to come into the library to make it something it couldn't make itself. How is that not reflecting what Jesus does in our lives?
These are just three. There are many more. Your turn.
