Servolution 2011

Servolution is coming April 16-23!!! I'm so excited about all that we are going to be doing. I truly believe that if we take the time to show God's love in tangible way it will change hearts and lives in Ada. Here are a few ways that we are going to be making a difference for our city:

Better Neighborhoods

Just like cells make up the body so neighborhoods make up a city. Think about that, if a cell becomes bad (cancer) it can bring down the whole body. Opposite of that, a good neighborhood can bring up the life of the whole city.

Needing some good ideas to help better your neighborhood? Or just want to meet your neighbors without seeming creepy?

Here's an article I ran across from GOOD magazine entitled: The GOOD Guide to Better Neighborhoods: A Neighborhood Manifesto

Winter Weather and Living Missionally

So I am now officially tired of the snow. Besides the fact that it has had a huge impact on sales at our local RadioShack where I am the store manager, it has kept us inside for nearly a week. Yesterday I went out and shoveled ours and our neighbor's sidewalk of about 3 feet of snow drift. That got me thinking about something. What does missional life look like during winter storms like we've had the last few days?

Here are a few ideas:

Community Outreach and The Love Revolution

So much has happened over the last few weeks. God has really answered mine and Amy's prayers in guiding us into the ministry that He has for us. On August 8th Amy and I were welcomed as the Community Outreach Directors at Crosspointe Church in Ada, OK. This is an awesome opportunity to participate in ministry that is at the heart of our church and has deeply touched our hearts as well.

We will be actively involved in the community outreach events and ministries at Crosspointe Church. Some of the upcoming events that we are going to involved in are:

+Samaritan's Ministry Food-Giveaway (Last Tuesday Every Month)

+Ada Highschool Lunch Outreach (Sept 9th) - serving hotdogs to students for a free lunch


+Senior Citizen Outreach (Sept 11th) - Going to go out into our community and change batteries in smoke detectors, light bulbs and air filters.

Amy and I are also going to be heading up a Connection Group at Crosspointe for anyone interested in community service. We are going to be going through The Love Revolution by Joyce Meyer. This is going to be a paradigm (worldview)  changing study that will help us begin to understand that serving others is not an option for Christianity but is a primary way that others know we are Christians.

Look for our table on Connection Sunday at Crosspointe Church this Sunday. Come on by and chat with us about Servolution or The Love Revolution
