Being engaged in our city and serving our surrounding community are a vital part of what it means for us to be 21st century followers of Christ. At our baptism we promise to “seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving our neighbors as ourselves” and to “strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being.”
For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.
Matthew 25:35
