My Heart is Smiling

As I sit in my office today me heart is smiling. About 100 kids from Byron High school are involved in something called the RESPECT retreat in our church building. The purpose of the retreat is to help kids respect themselves and each other.

The reason I am glad to host this event is because it is a way for us as a church to serve the community. I deeply believe that the community isn't here for us. We are here for them. We are here to serve them and be a blessing to them.

May God help us to think of other creative ways to be a blessing to our community. And may God touch all those kids who are in our building right now. May they see the cross and the other banners, and may God use our building to make them think of Him.
