Bless Thy Neighbor
What are we doing?
Bless thy neighbor is about getting to know your neighbor while showing the love of CHRIST. Many people can go years living next to people they do not know. Knowing your neighbor is important in several ways:
1. Protect one another
2. Help each other
3. Keeping your community safe
We all want to know who lives next door to us. We are about taking the first step, and being the help, protection, eyes, and ears needed to be the good neighbor the Bible talks about.
Why are we doing this?
It is important, as stated earlier. We must be the eyes and ears for one another and most of all the love JESUS exemplifies everyday through people and nature. We are responsible for our neighbor.
Who can do it?
Any adult that has that passion to reach out and touch their neighbor with love. It is important that you have a partner to go with when you are first introducing yourself or you are going to offer help. The reason that’s important is because if you are invited in a home, apartment, condo, etc, it’s simply for safety.
How can it be done?
Getting to know your neighbor is fun and this is how:
1. Plan what kind of goodies or help you are going to offer your neighbor.
2. Check with your group to see when they will be doing this activity, or if you’re doing it individually, make sure you still have a partner.
3. Be yourself.
4. Make sure you let someone know where you will be.
Where can it be done?
Anywhere and anytime. If you have a neighbor and everyone does make yourself available.
When can it be done?
It can be done anytime your neighbor is home or available.
