“Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve.... You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love. ” -Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968)
Not only CAN you serve but you were CREATED to serve.
When we look at the scriptures we see that it is God leading the way in serving mankind, He loves, cares for, protects and ultimately sends a savior and redeemer to us in His son Jesus-- who by the way revolutionized our ideas about leadership and the very nature of God. He said things like how He did not come to be served but to serve and to give His life as ransom for all of mankind; now that is service!
The goal of Southside is to BUILD God’s kingdom to SERVE mankind in the name of our King and to GROW in our faith and love by the help of God, (often WHILE we are serving).
This Sunday we are having our first ever Service Fair, it is an opportunity to learn about potential ministry opportunities in the community and at Southside for you to get involved in, it is going to be a very fun day where we spend some time getting to know ministry leaders and finding ways that we can get involved in showing the love of God to our community.
Like the scriptures tell us, faith without works is dead -- I implore you to make it to church this Sunday! Find a place to volunteer and just watch as God does some great things in you and through you!
Pastor Willy
