BACK TO SCHOOL

It may have been the case years ago that churches actually worked together to engage their communities. Now, when I talk about partnership with churches most people think just in conversation pieces alone, but not actually holding hands for the same purposes. I believe churches are diagnosed with the "territory disease."

LifeSong is in such a large community that even if we could reach everyone, we would never have the resources to make it work. I'm pretty certain that it is the same where you are, but why do we not celebrate when churches do their part in Kingdom expansion. Anyway, I could talk forever on this issue .....read below.


The state of Nevada has issued thousands of dollars in tax cuts on the public school system. Administration has asked parents/students to assist in purchasing extra copy paper for the teachers, in addition to the normal school supplies the student will have to buy. LifeSong Church and Destiny Church have partnered together to pull off a free school supply give-away at a "Back to School Bash." Both churches realize that the economy is a challenge for many families and we want to serve this community by meeting a practical need. Local businesses and churches will partner with us to allow this event to be a success. We are hoping to provide the free supplies to the first 500 kids at the event. Other items that will be donated-Lord willing-are free hair cuts, dental cleanings, food, movie, concert, and much more. LifeSong could not pull off an event of capacity alone. That is why churches should be willing to work hand in hand to better their communities and grow the Kingdom of God.


Churches could do so much more for the Kingdom of God if we were willing to work together. It's truly a process!!
