I love the South Side

What a wonderful day today was.
Church was canceled today.
Instead we had a south side "service day".
Living Stones Church is all about loving our neighbors.
All of our neighbors.
So, after a thought provoking series of sermons...

in case you wanna check out the bad neighbor story series...
LSC decided to cancel services today,
meet on the front lawn, sing some songs,
and head out to our south side neighborhoods and love on them.
We raked, picked up trash, anti graffitied, loved on the elderly,
loved on the firefighters, loved on Miami Hills neighbors, etc.

It was a blessed morning.
I raked really hard, and remembered how difficult and tiring raking is!
I could use a few more late summer days
minus the heat, before the leaves fall.

I served with some great friends,
we gave away 4 charcoal grills,
and got quite a few stares from neighbors.
No tracts were given out, no invitations to attend our church hinted at...
just us wanting to love our neighbors.

We even woke up a poor soul at 12:30.
Sorry.
I remember those sleep late days.
I love waking early now, with a purpose!
A place to go!
A way to serve and worship!
Funny, though. I now attend our 5:30pm service,
but still rise in time for the 9:30 service.

Thank you Living Stones for having your heart in the right place.
Time for a nap!
