Living Out Jesus’ Call to Be Good Neighbors

Good Neighbor

0:00

At Magnetic Pharisburg United Methodist Church, we believe that living out our faith means more than just worship on Sundays—it means serving our community and loving our neighbors, as Jesus taught us. In Luke 10:27, Jesus said, "Love your neighbor as yourself. "This simple yet powerful command challenges us to be compassionate and caring toward others, offering a helping hand when it's needed most.

One way we are putting this into action is through our partnership with the Hope Center to provide food for families in our community. Recently, we hosted an event where church members and volunteers from the Hope Center came together to distribute food to those in need. It was a day filled with love, generosity, and a spirit of service. As we packed and handed out food, we were reminded of Matthew 25:35, where Jesus said," For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink." Through this outreach, we are not just meeting physical needs but embodying the love of Christ by caring for others as He cares for us.

In addition to the food distribution, we also recently hosted an antique car show, which brought the community together for a fun, family-friendly event. While the car show celebrated classic vehicles, it was also an opportunity to strengthen our community bonds and invite new friends to experience the welcoming nature of o

ur church family. Events like these allow us to extend our love and fellowship beyond our doors, reminding us that being a good neighbor means creating spaces where everyone can feel included and valued.

Our outreach efforts are about more than just giving—they're about being present for our community in meaningful ways. Whether we're sharing food with those who need it or bringing joy through fellowship events, we are committed to following Jesus’ example of service, compassion, and love.

We invite you to join us as we continue to serve and uplift our community, living out the call to be good neighbors in every way we can.
