Jesus says in the Gospel of Matthew that “… the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve….” And, James 2:26 cautions us “… faith without works is dead.”
As Christians, we are to walk in the ways of Christ and follow his example. We want to keep our faith alive. One of the ways we are more Christ like to others is through service. We are still coordinating our service dates. Look back here often.
