SERVE
“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men. You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven."
Matthew 5:13-16

Automobile needed
If you are getting ready to purchase a new vehicle and are planning on trading your gently used vehicle in, consider donating your vehicle to our non-profit Serve Lubbock and receiving tax credit for your donation. From time to time, we have individuals and families who are in need of a used car and we want to be able to help when these needs arise in our church. If you have any questions about this request, please let me know.
