Due to their location in a very nice part of town, a large number of walkers, joggers and bikers pass their church every weekend morning. In light of this, they came up with what I found to be an interesting outreach highlighted in the short video below.
It's a little thing. But it's a point of connection. And especially in an affluent neighborhood where traditional outreach/mercy ministries might not be as needed, it is, as Kevin put it, "a very tangible yet simple way to share the love of Christ." Beyond this, it is something that God might very well use to create an open door for the gospel.
May all of our churches refuse to budge on the gospel of grace: We are all sinners in need of a savior, and that savior is (and can only be) the one who died for our sins, Christ Jesus. As we stand firm though, may we similarly be thinking of creative ways to serve the communities in which we are located, simply yet tangibly sharing the love of Christ.
