Celebrating Community Through Service
James 2:14-17 (NLT)
14 What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? 15 Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, 16 and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do?
17 So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.

Community service is a tangible expression of faith, exemplified by the church's involvement with the Bannerman Education Center. This initiative not only supports the dedicated teachers but also strengthens the church's commitment to outreach, embodying the love and service taught by Christ. By participating in projects like the teacher appreciation week, the congregation can actively live out their faith, impacting both the community and their own spiritual growth. This engagement fosters a deeper connection with the community and enriches the church's mission.
