Evangelism the Servant Way
Acts of Kindness
Acts of Kindness is a community outreach ministry of Emmanuel Church. We perform "acts of kindness" to those in our community who may need a kind word or a kind smile. We expect nothing in return. We show the love of Christ by those kindnesses.
Our motto is: This act of kindness is done to express God's love to you in a practical and caring way.
"Jesus went about doing good." --Acts 10:38
A couple of the ways in which we do this is by doing community car washes (free of charge!), our annual Christmas gift wrapping at the Lilac Mall and by sometimes visiting door-to-door and offering tracts, prayer and sometimes food or toiletries. We always have fun!
We will be delivering hats and scarves to oncology patients at Frisbie Hospital. If you wish to donate items (or join in a class to learn how to make them), bring them in on Sundays or to the Church Office. See Chris Russo if you have questions.
