As we approach Valentine's Day, our thoughts naturally turn to love – not just the romantic kind that fills greeting cards and candy boxes, but the profound, unconditional love that God demonstrates to us every day. Here at Community Reformed Church Whiting, we believe this special day offers us an opportunity to reflect on love in its purest, most divine form.
"We love because He first loved us." - 1 John 4:19
This Valentine's Day, we invite you to explore with us the many dimensions of love that enrich our lives:
1. God's Endless Love
Think about it – the Creator of the universe loves each of us personally and completely. This Valentine's Day, let's take a moment to marvel at this extraordinary gift. His love isn't based on our performance or worthiness; it's unconditional and eternal.
2. Love in Our Community
Our church family demonstrates this divine love daily through our various ministries. From our Food Pantry to our Clothing Tree, we see God's love in action through the hands and hearts of our volunteers who serve over 150 families each month.
3. Sharing Love with Others
Valentine's Day isn't just for couples – it's an opportunity for all of us to share God's love with everyone around us. Whether it's reaching out to a lonely neighbor, volunteering at our hot meal service, or simply offering a kind word to a stranger, we can all be vessels of God's love.
Practical Ways to Share Love This Valentine's Day:
- Write encouraging notes to seniors in our congregation
- Volunteer at our community outreach programs
- Pray for those who might be feeling lonely or forgotten
- Join us for Sunday service to experience the warmth of our church family
- Share a meal with someone who might be spending the day alone
Special Valentine's Day Invitation:
Join us this Sunday as we celebrate God's love with a special message about God's Love and his divine Hope and Blessings. Everyone is welcome, whether you're coming alone, with family, or with friends.
Remember: While the world celebrates love for just one day, we're blessed to experience and share God's eternal love every day of the year.
"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." - 1 Corinthians 13:13
We invite you to be part of our loving community at Community Reformed Church Whiting. Whether you're seeking spiritual guidance, fellowship, or simply a place to belong, our doors and hearts are always open.
