Service groups serve the community

Last week I had the opportunity to speak with the Rockdale Rotary Club during their regular meeting. I have had the opportunity to speak with multiple service clubs all over the county and I am always excited to have the opportunity to speak to so many people who do so much for our communities.

In the closing of the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus identifies himself with the world’s needy: the thirsty, the stranger, the poor, the sick, the imprisoned.
