I came across a report of a wonderful community event that involves Church of Christ people and Baptist people, working together to help their community in Abilene, Texas.
“On Sunday, 1,750 Abilene churchgoers will leave the brick and mortar of their familiar buildings behind. Dressed in work clothes, not their Sunday best, they will spread out across 110 work sites.
They will not listen to a sermon that day. Instead, they will be the sermon, doing good deeds for neighbors living in difficult situations.
The date marks the fourth consecutive year churches in Abilene will participate in We Are The Sermon Day.”
Go here to read the rest of this uplifting story about Christians from different church backgrounds, working together for the betterment of their community, all in the name of Jesus Christ. What an inspirational way to share the Gospel!
Southern Hills Church of Christ website – the church that started the event in 2005. I like especially the sentence on their “what we believe” page – “We are Christians only, but not the only Christians.” Good stuff.
“Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.” John 17:20-23
