29 Dec Providing Services Blesses Each One Included
Among the great things about this nation is the blessing of being capable to believe and worship as we decide on, and among the wonderful consequences of this is diversity. There are plenty of several faith groups, and different needs depending upon each congregation. A few of these groups are substantial with countless members, and some are quiet denominations with only a handful of folks that are involved. We love the superb cultural fabric that results as we converge as communities from a wide range of viewpoints to engage in life together.
Some of the strategies that takes place is through serving, as that naturally seems to create bridges between us and others. Church groups have long been known for being involved in humanitarian efforts and lending financial aid and volunteers, among other things. It seems that, whatever where we look, there is no end to human need: individuals who are striving, downtrodden, hopeless, and hungry.
There is a number that can be done in your own neighborhood and community when you gather up as a group to do service. If you want to take your congregation hours away to participate in a greater effort or offer aid further from home, we think a coach is the way to go. Not only can riding together create a possibility to get to know one another better and extend camaraderies, you can also discuss the impact of the experience that you’ve shared together when you’re on your way home.
Service has a trick, and it is this: so typically we do an act expecting to help someone– to lighten their suffering, to tend to their needs and wants, to be a listening ear when they feel broken. The surprising thing is that, in the very act, we find that what is broken in us seems to mend, too– our own struggles seem lighter, and our hearts are strengthened with new perspective to go forward in our own lives. That’s the real beauty of it.
And… when your congregation is heading out for a service opportunity and needs a great way to get there, we’re only a call away with our charter bus Maine! We’d love to come along for the ride!
