A wonderful movement started in San Jose, California a few years ago. It’s called Beautiful Day, and the goal is for churches to partner with each other to make a real difference in the community. Beautiful Day is not a program, and there is no formula for making it work. That’s the cool part of it. You just reach out to the community, ask what’s needed, and then do it!
Our church had a wonderful Beautiful Day project a few weeks ago, cleaning up and dressing up the grounds of an elementary school near our church. Some people worked harder than others, but the feeling of community and desire to help was universally felt. The principal came alongside church members as well as some school staff. The project cost the school nothing. Items were either donated or people at the church covered costs. It truly was a beautiful day and felt good to be the hands of Jesus in the community!!
