The Heart of the Matter...

 
Welcome to the LoveYourNeighbor Community!

We're glad you've found us!

At LoveYourNeighborCommunity we are just getting started, and very excited about what the future holds...  We hope that you will travel around our blog to learn more and join us in serving our community. ;-)   If you or someone you know needs a helping hand, please don't hesitate to call.  We are ALWAYS looking for new opportunities to help!
 

How we began... 

Serving on a short term mission trip is an amazing experience. We come together, from different locations, sometimes speaking other languages... and serve together.  It is a wonderful time, when all of our other responsibilities fade away, self disappears and we can truly focus on others' needs. 

But a mission trip typically lasts 1-2 weeks and what was I doing the rest of the year?  How was I continually serving others at home?  If Jesus said that "Love God and Love your Neighbor" were the two greatest Commandments, How was I Loving my neighbor at home?  Many of you are doing creative and wonderful things to help those in need everyday in your home town.  Living in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, with spectacular views and plenty to do, most of us feel very fortunate.  But life is not always easy and trials and heartache come...
 
   LoveYourNeighborCommunity is a group of volunteers, who are passionate about helping others.  For an individual, family, group or business, we are here.  We want to get as creative as possible to meet the needs of our community.  Our hope is to get to the heart of the matter, help one another and make a difference...  and to always model the LOVE of Christ in everything we do.
 
God Bless you and keep you,
 
Lisa Gerrity & the 
LOVEyourNeighborCommunity
