Why are we doing this? We are fulfilling our Christian teaching to love one another and are encouraging others.
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
John 13:34-35

Acts of Kindness are:
- Good deeds that can be in the community or at St. Luke’s Church. They can be one-time or ongoing. Even a small gesture can be meaningful.
- A few examples include:
- Assisting neighbors, friends, family or strangers
- Donating time, work, or funds for others personally or through charities
- Greeting others with a smile or letting others ahead of you in line
- Participating in St. Luke’s Ministries (see the Ministry handbook for ideas!)
- Many service projects are really acts of kindness, like packing at FMSC, serving at Loves and Fishes, delivering for Meals on Wheels, etc.
There are so many opportunities to help or encourage others, we’d love to add yours!
HOW
