Sharing God’s Love on Holy Saturday

The Saturday before Easter Sunday is often referred to as ‘Holy Saturday’ and what better way to celebrate our Savior than serving others.

A Church Without Walls joined hands with First Presbyterian Church of Norfolk, New Life Providence Church, P.B. Young Elementary School, The Young’s Terrace Community Center, St. Paul Methodist Church, St. Mark RZUS, Granby High School, Trinity Presbyterian Church, a Home School group, and Regent University to bless the Young’s Terrace Community with the love of Jesus.

It’s truly amazing the blessings that can go forth when believers join hands to serve. Bike repair ministry, bounce house, egg hunt for the little ones, music, face painting, story telling, photo booth, raffle, hotdogs, soft drinks, and on and on.

We shared the love of God first in service and then in Word. It was a glorious afternoon as we gave over 400 people a healthy serving of Christ’s love.

When we were leaving we saw children riding their bikes through the neighborhood with their faces painted in glorious colors. One boy who received a bike made a point of waving to us as we left and thanked us for his bike. “That makes it all worth while,” Jimmy said as we pulled out of the neighborhood.

It was a perfect reflection of what ‘A Church Without Walls’ is all about, the children of God joining hands to bear fruit in the name of Jesus. Today everyone involved produced fruit abundantly, just like Christ says we will do if we are ‘in Him.’

"I am the vine, and you are the branches. Whoever remains in me, and I in him, will bear much fruit...                                                                                               (John 15:5a)
