Our second goal of G.R.E.A.T. for SouthView is

REACH OUT

To REACH OUT and help meet local needs in Spring Hill.

Last year, I watched our new little church REACH OUT and bless a bunch of great organizations and groups that help others. The Well, our local Police Station and the Hope House are just a few. I love to see our people gather around a need and help meet it. I’ve watched people cook meals, give money, babysit, have people over for dinner and do countless other things to show people Christ’s love. When we REACH OUT despite our own needs, it really does amazing things.

I know many of our people were really affected by the economy  but that didn’t stop them from giving out of their needs. That’s what this goal is all about. If we waited to help other when our needs were met, we would miss the amazing blessing that God has for us. When you lack money, give your time. When you lack time give your prayers. There’s always a way to REACH OUT when you are purposeful in looking for it.

This year we are going to continue ministering to needs in our local area as well as branching out on our first mission’s trip to Mexico. We will host ComeBack Events (events in local parks where we give out free food, prizes, and kiddie games) this spring and summer. We will continue to look to help other churches as well (through combined worship events, combined youth groups and prayer). We even have some new ideas we are working on for showing people in this community that God loves them and thinks the world of them.

REACH OUT

There are so many needs but we are sent here to help meet them with God’s love.
