To Serve

For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many. (Matthew 20:28 NLT)

Today's meditation:

• It's so easy to fall into the trap of thinking its about us, but Jesus taught us its about others and what we as Christ-followers do to follow his example and serve.

Pray today:

• For EC Serve and the various service projects for this semester and the upcoming summer, for resources to support these missions, for abundant numbers of people to volunteer to manage each service project.
• For EC Mission, a service project for EC alumni who want to help the College with summer projects on campus, for resources and volunteers to be available to accomplish much (pray over the details at http://www.ec.edu/ecmission).

Our prayers make a difference in our outcomes. Please continue to pray over the list below that focuses on key needs at Emmanuel College.
