Part of being a Christian means that we need to be willing to help others in need, just as Jesus did.

There are two ways to do this: with time and with money.

• It’s versatile!

• Money can be used from anything such as helping the church pay bills to buying food for the needy

• And, it’s small enough to fit in your pocket!

But, when you give, do so graciously!

• This is a more abstract way to give.

• You can’t hold time and simply give it away.

• Rather, there are several things you can do to trade your time for the gift of helping others

1 . V O L U N T E E R I N G

Simply using your time to engage the community. Sign up to man a booth at a fundraiser, food drive, or clothing donation center.

2 . TA L E N T S

In 1 Corinthians, Paul reminds us that we each have a skill that contributes to the body of Christ. Use that for good!

You can lead a group in joyful song…

… Or even read the Word to those who cannot do it themselves!

3 . L A B O U R

Do a favor with labor! Have a sick or elderly neighbor with a leaky faucet or broken fence? Offer to help out!
