What if the Church?

33 Church has an amazing opportunity to be a part of something on May 1st called "What if the Church?" This is the purpose of the event: Why What If? We deeply believe that when Jesus sees His Church in Kansas City, He does not see a thousand different churches, but He sees one Church with a thousand different styles, sizes, colors, and shapes all striving for the common purpose of making Him famous in this city through love.

So, what if the Church actually acted like the Church? We would serve. I love it.

33 Church is joining forces with over 4000 other Christians in the KC area, and we are going to serve. We are going to do what James tells us to do and serve widows and orphans. We are going to feed people. We are going to fix their businesses. We are going to paint. We are going to landscape. We are going to fix ball fields so kids have a place to play. We are going to sort clothes so that families have an organized place to come find clothes to clothe their children. We are going to stock shelves so that soup kitchens have food to serve. We are going to serve. Which means, that we are going to love, and we are going to be the Bride of Christ.

33 Church is going to be helping at a place called Pure Light Resource Center. We will be scraping and painting, doing some landscaping, some minor construction and even some electrical work. I am excited. I love to serve for Jesus. I love to get my hands dirty and do something that will so that I love mercy, act justly and that I strive to walk humbly with my God (Micah).

I pray that the people we serve will see Jesus in us, and I pray that we will love with the love of Jesus. So come on, KC! What if the church? Well, let's find out together on May 1st!
