Reading this article touched on some of the content of our seminar this past Saturday (May 16). And of course, has lots to do with our engaging our commumity. The premise of the article is that Christians serving the community alongside their non-Christian neighbors is a form of evangelism. The author is saying that by serving together with non-Christians, we introduce them to Christians, allow them to see the love of Christ at work in and through us, and often times introduce them to the church (depending on the location of the service project). This may be a little down the road for us - I don't know - but well worth keeping in mind.
