Serving HERE

YOU ARE HERE!

Think of all the place you see this phrase....It's everywhere.

We did a brainstorming activity to come up with all the places we are each day:

Home

Church

Work

School

Places in the community

We took in one more step and identified all the people who are HERE with us:

Family

Friends

Neighbors

Strangers

Familiar community members we see weekly

Elderly

Children

Co-workers

Employer

We live HERE - in the center of our lives.

There are many opportunities around us to offer service to others.

And we depend on others for help all of our lives.

Through service we increase our ability to love, we become less selfish, and helping others helps us see our own problems in the proper perspective. Jesus commanded us to serve all people, not just the ones we enjoy being around. He is our perfect example.

Pres. Kimball said, “God does notice us, and he watches over us. But it is usually through another person that he meets our needs.”

Types of service range from smiling and saying hi, to risking your life to save another. If you ever wonder who you can serve or where to serve, look around!

We ended the class listening to a SONG

by Hilary Weeks, titled "Not Too Far From Here"
