Serving at House of Manna

Tomorrow night (Friday) people from all North Way campuses will be serving together at the House of Manna in Homewood. It all starts at about 7pm, and I know those that are coming to my neighborhood to serve food and build relationships with the residents of Homewood will be blessed by the time spent there. Being a follower of Jesus makes much more sense when we serve people in need because much of God's grace is found in the places that are ignored by mainstream society. Jesus modeled during his life how to seek out hurting people and spend time with them showing the profound love of God through our words and deeds. That's exactly how we should be living now in our modern era... just as Jesus did. Christians should not be afraid of blighted urban environments... we should be running head first into the arms of the struggling people in our city.
