Living our mission....

Our Neighborhood Pork Roast and Fun Fest gives us a great opportunity to live our mission -- "being the hands and feet of Jesus in the world"!

As our neighbors and friends respond to our invitations to join us... we have the opportunity to serve them with a generous love... the kind of love that Jesus offers us. This is our time to let Jesus shine through us... which means that we will all need an extra measure of servanthood Jesus style. Through the welcome and hospitality we show, through the good food and taking time to connect with our neighbors, we are the hands and feet of Jesus... we shine his light for them to see.

Sure we all want to enjoy the festivities, and we will have the opportunity, but that is not our purpose -- our purpose is to show the neighbors Jesus' love and hospitality. I am excited... because this is what we do best at Community of Joy... that is why our sign says... "where relationships matter!"

Sounds like the weather will be AWESOME and hope the crowd is huge as well!
