When most people hear the word "church" they think of a building where you meet on Sundays. This is a common understanding of this word, but in reality the word is much more significant than just a building. In the Bible the word church is used to describe not just a building, but the people of God. It's not only important to understand this; it's important to live this out as well. When the people of God, His church, live out their faith and love for Him they are being a living demonstration of God's presence in this world. No building can do that... it requires God's people to act on their faith in their lives.
That's why once a month at REALife we gather together to head outside the walls of the church building to show our community the love of God. We call these events "Serve Days" and they happen one Saturday every month. Our next Serve Day is this coming Saturday, and you can get more information about it on our website by CLICKING HERE. All high school students are welcome to attend. Parents of high school students are also invited, but not required to attend. Our hope is that through these events the love of God would spread outside the walls of the church and into our community, and that these Serve Days that happen once a month would inspire lifestyles of service that will really make a difference for Jesus in this world.
