This Saturday, the members of PBCC will participate in our first "Great Day of Service". On Saturday Morning we will leave the building and move through out the city serving others. The service projects include serving the local police and fire departments, working with the Palm Bay Parks and Recreation Department, Assisting Unconditional Love, a ministry to HIV/AIDS patients in Brevard County and serving a local nursing home.
We have called our great day of service "SHINE", this comes from Matthew 5:14-16, "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Our desire is for each of us to SHINE through service and as a result Christ will be lifted up. I am excited by the response from our church, I believe the servant's heart of our church is really coming through in a big way. I am also happy with the demographic of the servants of our church. Many of our teens, children, seniors, young adults and families are involved in SHINE. This type diversity is demonstrating anyone can shine the love of Christ into the lives of others. I am also excited about the reception we have received from the city. They have been very accommodating to help us complete our SHINE projects. Next week I will share some of the stories that happened as a result of SHINE. I cannot wait to tell you about what God will do through his people when they choose to SHINE.
