Serve Others

We have spent this month learning about how we can be like Jesus, Who is the example God gave us for how to live the most fulfilling lives in a way pleasing to God. We have discussed loving others, caring for others, and forgiving others. This Sunday we’ll finish the unit by looking at how Jesus served others, and how we can be like Him in this way, too.

Do you remember our acrostic receipe for JOY?

J - Jesus First
O - Others Second
Y - Yourself Last

Living in this way is really the way to get the most joy out of your life. It may be hard to do, but God will always help you to make the right decisions if you ask Him.

The story this week is about a time when Jesus showed His disciples the way to be greatest in His kingdom…by serving others. Jesus Himself washed the feet of each of His disiples—a dirty job that usually the least of the servants would be given. Not only was Jesus doing a service that needed to be done, showing care for His disciples, but He was setting them an example of how they should serve one another.

We will put our study into practice as we start this Sunday our month-long collection of food for needy families at Thanksgiving. Our entire church will be collecting food, but our class will make a contest out of it as we prepare festive Thanksgiving bags to remind us to bring in food and to remind the families who receive it what Thanksgiving is all about. We will have fun each week weighing in our bags and see which team can bring in the most pounds of food. Our deacons will distribute our food with all the rest that is brought, and then will report back on how we have helped needy families have a thankful holiday.

This would really be a great week to bring a friend!

Tom and Sydney Cook
