Southbridge Serves is an opportunity for us, as people who have received incredible grace, to extend that grace to others by serving our community and sharing with them the life-changing gospel of Jesus Christ.

As a church, Southbridge Fellowship is seeking to both equip you and provide you with consistent outreach opportunities as individuals, families, and community groups, so that we can can overwhelm our community with the gospel in both word and deed.

SOUTHBRIDGE SERVES is an opportunity for you to come learn the vision for lifechange that is possible in a community through the actions of believers, to be equipped to have intentional conversations and to share the gospel, and then to go out and serve!

We are trusting God to move in a mighty way through this focused weekend of prayer and service and we challenge you to prayerfully consider how you can be involved.

Thank you!

Galatians 5:13-15 ¹³ You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. ¹⁴ The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” ¹⁵ If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.

We were called to be free BUT we were called to use that freedom to serve. So essentially we are to be free servants or free slaves. Often times when we think of our “freedoms” we are thinking of the things we can do that are not on some “never do that” list. Paul is saying our freedom now is that we can serve other people rather than indulge our own selfish desires. What matters is (as Paul said earlier Gal 5:6b) faith expressing itself through love.

As we think about our freedoms it is not about “what we get to do and not get in trouble” it is about the fact that the burden of sin and selfishness has been lifted so now we are free to serve. We are free to be slaves.
