sample practices for Service

Here are some example practices for Service:

• Volunteer in a local food/homeless ministry

• Find a specific way to serve your family/friends (cook a meal, clean up, etc.)

• Ask God to reveal areas of selfishness in you and ask Him to help you become selfless

• Find one specific way you can consider someone else more important than yourself

• Spend a morning cleaning up a park/neighborhood

• Have a conversation with a homeless person

• Start a relationship with a homeless person: See how they got where they are and try to find a way to get them into sustainable housing (ask the Outreach Pastor for help)

• Create small food/essential bags that you keep in your car to give to those in need

• Pick one person/family in need and pray for them

  • Eventually, do what you can to meet their need

• Pray for God to reveal a place for you to serve/advocate for the marginalized: Pregnancy center, foster care, homelessness, race relations, etc.

  • Start working in this area

• Think through one area of injustice in the world and seek under God’s direction ways to bring justice there
