Community

Living Faith hosted and participated in three different community events this past Monday.  I know it can easily just look like handing out candy to kids.  But if you look beyond the event you can see 7 churches working together.  You can see local business, community groups, civic organizations all coming together for a common purpose.  My hope is that this can then be a pattern for other work we do as a church.  If it only stays with Trunk or Treat, it won't make a huge impact.  But if we can take these connections and our next project starts making a difference in the community, then are we not being what the church is called to be... yeast that works itself in the through ever part of a community with the love and passion of Jesus.
