A couple times a year we dismiss church early and worship outside the walls by serving the community.
As the last night of the Assassins series, we looked briefly at Sloth. We could have talked about laziness for 40 min, and gone about our normal routine. Instead we had a 25 min worship gathering in the building then broke into groups in order to worship in the community by simple acts of kindness.
Here is a look at our playlist of worship last night:
- Cleaning gas station bathrooms (Shawn Wallace)
- Beading craft at Meadows Manor East (Jennifer McDaniels) *
- Bingo at Southwood Nursing Home (Michele Topolsek) *
