Community Service
In Matthew’s version of the Great Commandment Jesus tells us:
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew 22:37-39)
At the Fields we believe that one way of obeying the Great Commandment is through serving our community. We don’t see ourselves as experts, but as those who are experimenting in a variety of ways to show the love of Christ in action.
In the last few years God has given us opportunities to do this through:
* building homes for poor families in Mexico
* packing food boxes at Angel’s Depot
* providing meals at the Bread of Life rescue mission in Oceanside
* joining Habitat for Humanity projects, building homes for needy families in San Juan Capistrano and
Carlsbad
* sending a work team to New Orleans to help rebuild the home of a Hurricane Katrina victim
* helping repaint the new offices of the Pregnancy Resource Center in Vista
* joining the United We Paint project in Carlsbad
Current opportunities:
* volunteer at the Food Bank in San Marcos, the last Tuesday of every month
(for more info )
* volunteer at the Pregnancy Resource Center
* volunteer at Green Oak Ranch
Upcoming opportunities:
* work day at Aviara Oaks Elementary and Middle schools in November. Details to come.
