Jesus gave His followers a very clear mission: “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.” (Matt 5:14) We take those words seriously and want to spread God’s love into every dark corner. Our mission at Southland is to unleash a revolution of love. We want everyone in Kentucky to know that there is a God who loves them. We want to extend hope to people who need it—no matter what hopeless situation they might be facing.
 
In just a few weeks, Room in the Inn will kick off at the Nicholasville Campus. Through our partnership with Room in the Inn, we provide a warm place to stay, a shower, a hot meal, and friendship during the cold winter months to homeless men living in downtown Lexington. As you can imagine, it takes a lot of people to make this happen… folks willing to cook meals, families and groups willing to serve on Saturday nights. Can you help us this year? There are two ways to get involved!

• Contact Nick Bernard for details.
• Show up to our informational meeting this Thursday, October 17 at 6:30pm in Theater 81. 

Why do we do these things? Here’s what Jesus said, “In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.” (Matt 5:16) We shine our light so others will know how good God is. I hope you can join us this winter!
