For the last several weeks we have been promoting our "Serving Glenpool" day set for this coming Saturday, May 3rd. This day came about as a result of our 40 Days of Community study. During that study we were challenged to participate in a project that would allow us to work together as a group and at the same time benefit our community. It was a challenge to reach outside of ourselves and show God's love to the community in which we live by serving.

                Here is are a couple of acrostics for SERVE that might challenge you to get involved:

S- Surrender - your will to His

E- Endure - stay with it-- put forth continual effort

R- Radiate - Let Jesus shine through your life!

V- Vision - See that God is working

E- Encourage - Build others up

and

S- Seek- His Presence and Power- PRAY

E- Enlist- Sign-up to serve

R- Resources- Give/use what you have

V- Vacate- Leave the church/ get out of your comfort zone

E- Evaluate- How am I doing/ How are we doing?

                Serving is all about showing our Love for God by putting the needs of others above our own. We serve God by serving others and that is what "Serving Glenpool" is all about. We will gather at 9am at the Youth Annex for Breakfast fixed by our Men's Ministry. Then we will have a Kick-off Rally at 9:30am where we will hear again why we are doing this special day and giving folks an opportunity to decide exactly what project(s) they want to be a part of. Following the Rally we will then go 'Serve Glenpool' from 10am -3pm.

                Invite your friends and make plans to be a part of this exciting and service filled day! Make plans to be serve all day or maybe for an hour or two- whatever works-- just be a part of this 'Serving Glenpool Day!"  Let's put this verse into practice! Ephesians 6:7- "Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men."
