To Proclaim Good News


Image result for luke 4:18-19This Sunday we will kick off Fruitland Special Needs SERVE. This will be a whole week of excitement for our congregation. A week when participants and their mentors under the direction of the local leadership team will spread out into our community to share the love of God with their hands and their feet.

There's going to be more happening than work. There will be lots of time for fun, for building relationships, for enjoying good food, for relaxing, but the main goal of the week will be to show love for God, and through the power of that love, express love for the world.

As we kick this week off during a special service, we'll spend some time recognizing that that is exactly what Jesus came to do as well.  Jesus, in the book of Luke, suggests that he has come to fulfill a prophecy made by Isaiah and that he has come to proclaim good news, and freedom, and healing, and to end oppression. All bold claims, claims which were rejected by those who heard them.


It's going to be a wonderful morning of song, fellowship, learning, and even lunch. Be sure to join us.
