I'm not the sort that walks around the office talking about what we did at church, who our guest speaker was, or other things of that sort. In fact, I've only mentioned the chuch a very small handful of times, but each time was in relation to serving in the community. I mentioned the Truckee River cleanup we helped with. I mentioned how stiff I was from bagging food for Evelyn Mount with the church, and I asked a fellow employee who has a son just back from Iraq what some good ideas would be for things to send to a soldier our church is planning to sponsor.

Church and service should go hand-in-hand in our minds, just as Jesus came not to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.
