This week our Journey Neworks are doing their thing. It is about making an impact in our community. We have several ways this is happening. Gifts and necessary household items are being purchased and given to those in need. Others are serving in our community helping those in need. Meals are being served to those who often go hungry.
It is about being generous. It is about living beyond ourselves. It is about looking to make a difference. This is the kind of life Jesus taught as the way to live. Part of following after him means we do these kinds of things. Let's all keep looking for ways to live beyond ourselves...to live for Jesus.
