Giving<\/h1>\n
\n

Jesus says, ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me’ (Matthew 16:24 NIV).<\/p>\n

Because Jesus gave himself and took up his cross, we are enabled to give ourselves and take up our cross as we follow Jesus. Taking up our cross means to serve others selflessly.<\/p>\n

Below are some ideas on how you can serve others in our community.<\/p>\n

\n

VOLUNTEER<\/strong><\/h4>\n

There are many opportunities to give yourself in service to others locally and further afield.<\/p>\n

Locally we have a\u00a0need for office helpers, gardeners, greeters, musicians and others.<\/p>\n

Please contact Pastor Allan<\/a>\u00a0to learn how you can serve the church with your abilities.<\/p>\n

For national opportunities, check out the LCA Employment and Volunteering<\/a> webpage.<\/p>\n

You can donate non perishable goods by bringing them on Sunday and place them in our wicker baskets.\u00a0 These donations go to\u00a0Mary Macs Place who\u00a0provide\u00a0social, community and friendship opportunities for men, women and families, young people, the elderly, and the socially and economically disadvantaged.<\/p>\n
