1 John 3:18
*******************************
It is not enough to say you love someone, you must show them by the way you act toward them. This Sunday we are having a meeting to discuss the Myrtle Beach Mission Trip. During the meeting we will be talking about all the things that we do while at Lakewood. The biggest event we are in charge of is Kids Club. This is a VBS style program for kids ages 5 - 12. Over the years the biggest impact we have had on these kids is loving on them. Loving not only with words but by the way we treat them. I remember one year we had a young lady who's parent's vacation was over on Wednesday because her father had to be at work the next day. He was a cop and had to work a 24 hour shift on Thursday. The young lady asked her parents to bring her back to the beach on Friday so she could spend one more day with the team. So the father worked all night and then drove his family back to the beach and his little girl got to spend Friday with her new friends. That's what the whole mission is all about. Showing Christ's love in practical ways. If we ever hope to win someone over for Christ, we have to show them love. Have a great weekend and I'll see you Sunday.
