CELEBRATING SERVICE: Loving and Serving our Neighbour. Serving seems a very out-dated concept and incompatible with today’s me-centered culture. But service is at the heart of the Christians message and as followers of Jesus we should not only understand whatbit is to be a servant but also allow the principle of servanthood to permeate all aspects of our life and relationships.
