Why is it important?

When Jesus called us to love our neighbor, he gave us a task that is possible for each one of us and is also a blessing for each one of us. Many people around us might feel isolated or don’t feel a sense of belonging (maybe including us), and each one of us can bring change to that. You will see how loving your neighbor will change those things and also the relationships but also how it will give you a greater love for the people around you. It will leave a great impact and it builds a strong and lasting community for your neighbors and you as well to just name a few things. When I think back to last year and how the pandemic affected everyone around the world we saw more and more 1. the need of bringing God’s love to our local places and 2. How important it is to be connected with our neighbors. We got reminded of the call from Jesus also because our neighborhoods were the only places we could go to. So let’s all do this together starting today to take Jesus seriously and love our neighbor. We will give you a monthly tip with how to establish that relationship and love your neighbors in a practical way and then we will all put it into action with the neighbors right around us.  And then watch how over time your neighborhood will change! You, me, and all of us can do it so let’s do it!!

Our tip for this month is sing Christmas carols with neighbors at a nursing home or senior center! Watch the video with some tips on that!

Hi our friend

First of all we want to wish you a happy and blessed first of Advent week!! The first candle symbolizes hope which is something so important in every area of our life. Spend some time this week to think about true hope only God can bring.

If I would have to title this week I would call it the week of the meetings. All of the meetings were good and productive which is wonderful. I really love those times to be able to help others but also get help and advice from others. It is such a blessing to walk with others and also see all the different giftings God gave each of them and us in use.

Also as mentioned in our monthly love your neigh or tip, lets bring some joy this Christmas season by singing Christmas carols with neighbors at a nursing home or senior center

God bless you
