Serving the Community this Christmas
Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men. Ephesians 6:7
The best part of Christmas is sharing peace and love with others. The true meaning of Christmas should bring hope to every man, woman, and child. Doing something selfless for others helps us spread that hope. What can you do?
Neighbor helping Neighbor. Around here, snow will arrive this holiday season. If you live in an area that receives snowfall, then you know that shoveling snow is hard work. Is there someone in your neighborhood that could use a shoveled driveway and porch? A widow, single-mom, ederly couple all would appreciate the Christian charity.
Shopping break. Malls and shopping centers become hubs of activity at Christmastime. Everyone is so busy shopping, that no one takes the time to eat. Here’s another great opportunity to help out in the community. Your church youth group, women’s group, or member's of your congregation can organize and provide a much needed snack, free of charge, for busy shoppers. Keep your snack items simple and would provide a boost of energy for tired shoppers. Shoppers will thank you for the hospitality. If they ask why you are doing it, let them know that you are sharing a bit of Christ’s love during the holidays.
Visit a nursing home. This is one area of definate neglect. You can either visit on your own and just spend time talking with the residents, letting them know someone cares. Or have your church youth group/choir sing carols to help put them in the holiday cheer.
Helping out in the community can be fun and rewarding while sharing Christ this holiday season. These are just a couple ideas to get you thinking. What can you in your community?
since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Colossians 3:24
