SERVICE: November 2012

This month, we are talking about the Big Idea of
SERVICE: seeing a need and doing something about it!

During the entire month of November, we will be partnering with all of the North Point Campuses and Strategic Partners across the country in the annual Be Rich campaign! Together, we are going to make such a huge impact both in our local communities and around the world! You will start hearing a lot about Be Rich around Athens Church! 

UpStreet will be participating by filling Operation Christmas Child boxes! We will be sending an empty box home with every family, encouraging them to spend their family night filling a box together. 
Boxes will need to be returned to Athens Church on November 11th or November 18th. 

SERVICE is a big deal. Service means putting others before ourselves. Our memory verse for the month is Philippians 2:3b-4 NIV: "In humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." As we head into the holiday season, may we all remember to serve others in the way that Jesus served us. We learned last month that we were made to make a difference (Individuality). Now it's time to go and make the difference by serving.
