Get Out

On this back to church Sunday, we need to be asking some very important questions about the church we attend. If your church ceased to exist in your community, how different would your community be?

Most churches these days aren't doing enough when it comes to community involvement. Whether it is walking in parades, volunteering at local food banks, or raising money for that family that lost their home in the recent fire, churches need to be doing these things to "step into the real world."

In doing this, we need to remember that no church community is perfect and that we all our working together to be the body of Christ. Casting Crowns puts it nicely:

"But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
There is a way"

What better time to start reaching, healing, teaching, and going then the start of a new church year? Churches, let's get our game faces on and get out!
