I was inspired and challenged by a recent article I read called “If your church disappeared, would anyone even notice?” As I thought about this question it became more personal. If I were to disappear would anyone even notice? That is, am I making an impact on my community that would be missed if it stopped? It is this personal ministry of each individual Christian that must impact our community!

For me, the question has also become, are we as the women of Hillcrest making any difference? If we disappeared would it make a difference in the school system, at sporting events, in civic organizations or local businesses? Do we impact the lives of others for the cause of Christ?

The activity of the church within the community is not limited to the organized programs of the church. It is each and every Christian “loving their neighbor as themselves.” Corporately and individually, we must reach out to our communities!
