Serving Each Other

When we take on Christ's name and become His disciples, we follow His example by helping each other with the challenges of life here on earth. 

"...  as ye are desirous to come into the fold of God, and to be called his people, and are willing to bear one another’s burdens, that they may be light; Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in, ..."  Mosiah 18: 7-9

Recently the women in the two congregations that meet in our meetinghouse got together to serve young men in a homeless shelter in our community. Everyone brought items and assembled shower kits so every young man could have his own personal items. 

 "... when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God. Mosiah 2: 17

We also learned about refugees in this area and service opportunity for people who have been displaced from their home countries. 

    "For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

    And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." Matthew 25: 35-40
