Who’s My Neighbor?
Meet a real need. Build a meaningful connection. share the love of Jesus
Saturday, October 17th
Who’s My Neighbor is a church-wide day of serving our neighbors with practical acts of love. It’s an opportunity for every South Spring Life Group to step into the community, meet practical needs, build relationships, and point people to Chris through simple acts of service.
Why We Do This:
“We love because He first loved us.” — 1 John 4:19
“Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” — 1 John 3:18
Jesus calls us to love our neighbors not only with our words, but through our actions.
How It Works:
- Find Someone to Serve – Each Life Group identifies a neighbor, family, or local place with a practical need.
- Plan Your Project – Choose a project your group can accomplish together—yard work, painting, repairs, moving help, cleanup, and more.
- Serve Together – Meet at South Spring for a brief rally before heading out into neighborhoods across our city to serve.
- Love Well – Build relationships, pray with people when appropriate, and let your actions reflect the love of Jesus. Commit to pray for and personally connect with those you serve.
