Christian Service in Community

And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
--Micah 6:8

The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has annointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.
--Luke 4:18-19

For true evangelical faith is of such a nature that it cannot lay dormant; but manifests itself in all righteousness and works of love.
--Menno Simons
