Impact Your Neighbors

Our community is in great need of the love and hope of Jesus. Though many of us are not comfortable traveling beyond our own neighborhood, there are a number of ways we can impact those that live closest to us — our neighbors!

We are encouraged by God to love our neighbors (Mark 12:31) and we have a great opportunity to do that in this unprecedented season.

Here are some practical ways to impact your neighbors:

• Drop a handwritten note by their door or in their mailbox. Give them your name and contact information, and let them know they can reach out to you if they need anything, even if just to have someone to talk to.
• If you’re planning on heading to the grocery store or picking up carry-out from a local restaurant, let your neighbors know that you can pick some things up for them as well.
• Pick up a few extra essential items to have on hand in case a neighbor or friend is in need.
• Be friendly. If you’re out on a walk and others are outside as well, stop and ask how they’re doing. Ask how this pandemic has affected them and be willing to listen. Offer to pray for them (while keeping your distance).
• Find your neighbors on Facebook, and ask to be friends.
• Invite friends to check out some of The Vineyard Church’s livestream opportunities, where they will receive some hope in this season.

We’re all doing the best we can to make the most of this time. However, all of us likely have neighbors who may feel anxious and lonely in this time. Knowing there is someone who can offer support nearby may make all the difference as we navigate difficult seasons.
