Happy Sunday, Friends!
We are so grateful for all of the amazing learning and fun that happened over the last three weeks of Compassion Camp. Our campers were just the best—and they made us so hopeful about all the compassion they are bringing into the world! Today our video shares some more practical ways that we can show compassion to our neighbors and around our home. We hope it inspires you to think about the needs for compassion right next door and to ask God for new ways to love well.
APPLY IT
Today Pastor Mary shared practical ways to show compassion to our neighbors. Consider some of her ideas and help your child to pray and imagine additional ways to love people well right from home.
Pray for those who have no access to air conditioning in these hot days.
Pray for those experiencing homelessness; ask God to take good care of them and to show you when you can do something to help.
Make a sign that communicates love to those who see it.
Pray as you walk by the homes in your neighborhood.
Offer to help when you see a need you could meet, like putting out trash cans for someone on your street.
When you hear sirens, pray for first responders and anyone in danger.
Keep asking God to show you how to help!
And if you need one more example for inspiration, then check out this kid who decided to bless people with the gift of laughter by setting up a drive-by joke stand.
We miss you and love you! Have a great week spreading compassion!
Much ❤️,
Pastors Lindsay and Mary
