Devotional Thought
To serve is to assist, help, care for, or work for someone. God calls us to serve him through worship and to serve other people by ministering to their needs. Jesus said that the essence of ministry is service (Mark 10:43-45). We are to serve others regardless of their position or station in life. In fact, the Bible encourages us to remember the poor (Matthew 25:44-45; James 1:27).

- Perform a random act of kindness for a stranger.
