Community Impact Day, 2008
What a privilege it was to be part of our first Community Impact Day this past Saturday. We had 800 people serve 7 area schools, feed and clothe the homeless, help other churches, build a fence at a nursing home, pick up trash along a city street, and just generally be the church out in the community to show the love of Christ in very practical ways. The whole morning just made me feel great once again about being part of a church that "takes Jesus as He is to people as they are." And we had great fellowship with one another while we worked. That is such a hard combination to beat. Serving Jesus by serving your fellow man and experiencing Christian oneness with your spiritual family; I'm not sure it gets any better than that here on this planet.

I worked with the group at Bethesda Baptist Church. We were running a little late since the wife and I had read the instructions wrong and met at RC instead of meeting at Bethesda like we were suppose to. But we had a wonderful time. I just want to say if you have never participated in one of RC's work days, no that's not right I should have said serving days, they you have missed out on a great blessing. And on top of that a lot of fun, Because this is the kind of work that doesn't seem like work. So the next time you have opportunity to serve at one of RC's Impact Days jump at. You'll walk away saying that was awesome.
