On one occasion an expert in the law stood up
to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do
to inherit eternal life?” “What is written in the
Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” He answered:
“ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all
your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’;
and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” “You
have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you
will live.” But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus,
“And who is my neighbor?” Luke 10 :25-29
The
Outreach Team bases their ministries around the consistent Biblical
message that God cares for the physical well-being of all of us. Our
efforts are directed at social justice rather than charity and we
believe that our ministries should start with personal contact and
should be built around relationships in our congregation, in our
community and in our world. We believe that the one everlasting
miracle performed by Jesus was the miracle of love and we look for
ways to be a part of that miracle.
