Community Service

“Larry Robbins recently retired after a 23-year career as a Community Chaplain, serving with his local police force. Through that time he also served on the pastoral staff of his church.” - P&D

“The Portage County, Wisconsin, Sheriff’s Office is thanking Berea Baptist Church for its thoughtfulness and generosity. Three ladies from the church sewed more than 100 cloth masks for the sheriff’s office staff.” - GARBC

“…in Alaska, a church’s pastor preached from the parking lot during a drive-in Easter service, while the interior of the church was being used as an alternate hospital site to manage the overflow of COVID-19 patients. The last time churches in the U.S. were turned into temporary hospitals was during the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918.

Should a Christian seek out opportunities for community service, apart from family and church venues and apart from job responsibilities?
