SERVICE

/ˈsərvəs/

3 ways to Practice SERVICE

1

Local Service and Volunteering

  • Volunteer in a local food/homeless ministry.
  • Spend a morning cleaning up a park/neighborhood.
  • Create small food/essential bags that you keep in your car to give to those in need.

2

Personal Growth and Relationships

  • Find a specific way to serve your family/friends (cook a meal, clean up, etc.).
  • Ask God to reveal areas of selfishness in you and ask Him to help you become selfless.
  • Find one specific way you can consider someone else more important than yourself.
  • Have a conversation with a homeless person.
  • Start a relationship with a homeless person: See how they got where they are and try to find a way to get them into sustainable housing (ask the Outreach Pastor for help).

3

PRAYER AND ADVOCACY

  • Pick one person/family in need and pray for them. Eventually, do what you can to meet their need.
  • Pray for God to reveal a place for you to serve/advocate for the marginalized: Pregnancy center, foster care, homelessness, race relations, etc.
  • Start working in this area.
  • Think through one area of injustice in the world and seek under God’s direction ways to bring justice there.
