Living our faith Our church needs to reach out and visit our neighbors, invite them to worship with us and offer to provide transportation when needed. I have visited with members of the local churches and each church is having the same problems as we are having. We , all local churches, need to visit our neighbors. We are all different, we have different personalities and different abilities. Look around and you can see members who can call neighbors by telephone, some members like to go and visit and others are great at sharing a special dish of cookies with a friend.
Some people are very capable of visiting the ill and have a soothing word in times of trouble.
Look around and see who you can help this week. Show the love of God by demonstrating love and caring attitudes. One precious gift is time - make time to listen to people who need to talk. We need to look at our church pews and see what type of member is sitting there. This should help us plan for the future work ahead of us.
