What a GREAT start for our Summer Series Bible Study - "Summer of Service". Over the past two weeks, we've averaged 16 people for both our Bible Study and our service project!
The first week, we meditated on scripture that focused our attitude toward service to God, our brethren and ourselves.
Mt. 22:37 tells us that we should "love the Lord with all our heart, soul and mind". If we love our Lord with the spirit that we should, others will benefit from that love through our service.
Jn 13:6-17 helps us understand our attitude toward our selves through a humble spirit and a willingness to serve others.
Jn 13:34-35 talks about the love that we should have for our brethren while 1 Co 12:21 explains the necessity to have a willingness to work together for good!
For our first service project, we tackled the awesome chore of cleaning out the basement in the Annex House. This required heavy lifting, organizing items to keep, and discarding other forgotten 'stuff', as well as bleaching mold and mildew off of the walls in preparation for a "youth makeover" in the coming weeks. Take a look at the pictures to see who all joined in, and see if you can tell who delegated more than they lifted..his name begins with an "S" and ends in "eth". :-)
It was a great evening, and we have an entire Summer to study and enjoy this type of fellowship! Try your best to continue to be a part of this Thursday night event!
Next week's Bible study will help us to understand how serving God and serving others will help us in building up our faith! Eph. 4:16.
See you next Thursday!
