Servolution

This has been an incredible "event" for our campus.

We are only half way through and I feel compelled to write about the response that we've had.
On Friday night a group went out and handed out baggies of quarters at some local laundromats.
On Saturday we washed cars for about 20 people.
On Sunday we had over 250 people out for an Easter Egg Hunt / Block Party...(after service where we hit a non-holiday high and had 2 commitments and 4 re-commitments)
On Monday we went out and handed out free donuts and coffee to people at a busy local Post Office.
Then today, we cooked hamburgers and hot dogs and gave them out for free at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore.

It's amazing to see peoples reactions when you are doing something just to be nice. It's like a completely foreign concept to them...

My hope is that our folks will catch on and do these simple things without being asked or motivated by a program. My hope is that they will do these things out of an overflow of the gospel working in their lives.

Can you do something like that today? What if it starts with us and a movement to make serving something more natural and less foreign?

Reminds me of the lyrics to this Shaun Groves Song..
Chorus:
Peace has broken out
In every heart
In every house
Peace has broken out
It started small
It drew a crowd
Peace has broken out

Well, they say it all began right down on Fifth and Main
When somebody thought of pushing back but walked away
Somehow the people gathered round just weren't the same
And as the crowd dispersed somebody heard em say

We'll watch the lambs and lions play
We've got no more flags to wave
All our rockets aim for stars
And the way things always should have been
Is just the way things are

No one's sure what happened next but on and on it went
From cubicles and classrooms to the president
Headed west and east and on to every continent
The whole world woke up to read how things are different
