“By their works ye shall know them …”

The oft-quoted Bible line (Luke 13:26) could certainly apply to members of West Seattle Christian Church, who were out doing community work today instead of attending services (which were canceled for the occasion). As pastor Dan Jacobs blogged, “We’ll be serving our community as a show of love and the reality of our faith.” He told WSB some of the projects for the day included graffiti removal behind the Junction post office, landscape cleanup in Junction parking areas along 44th, serving breakfast to local fire stations, assembling AIDS caregiver support kits to be shipped to Africa and cold-weather supplies for city homeless shelters, and projects at Schmitz Park Elementary.

    nice of them to do that, with no fanfare…and, I’m sure, don’t want a big deal made of it. Yes, very nice of them…thanks :)

    Right on.

    I love to see people who understand that religion isn’t there simply to make you feel good…it also requires something of you. Like maybe working on your character or serving others.

    Westwood Christian Assembly in White Center as well as Hope Christian Fellowship in Burien all offer free clothes and food to those in need on Tuesday and Sunday’s. Pass it on to those in need.

    A big Thanks to these folks for their contribution to the betterment of our community!

    Much more refreshing than a church group whining concerned about a baby seal imposing upon their obnoxiously self-promotional event at a local beach.

    Dan and his wife are nice people, we’re very fond of them and think they both contribute a lot of time to our West Seattle community.

Sorry, comment time is over.
