Over the past week, I have worked with my fellow SOC members to CARE for people in the school, in our extracurriculars, and in our community. Modeling an example blog post, we have worked fervently to discover the best course of action that we can take to have the biggest impact in our community. It is our responsibility to not only act for the betterment of others, but by doing so we also benefit ourselves. We are transformed into a better us, devoted to the CARE of others. Our sympathetic and service-oriented hearts are turned toward the people that can use our help, and we offer up our hands to do whatever work they may require.
For Thomas Nelson Tennis, we have made connections with Parkway Baptist Church. After connecting with Matt Flanagan, the Minister of Families and Public Connections, I have collaborated with my fellow SOC members on developing a course of action devoted to most effectively serving the church. Some of the many opportunities the tennis team has to serve include painting, cleaning the kitchen, and building food boxes for families in need during Christmas time. These are only seasonal opportunities, and when spring comes, we will have access to many more service-oriented landscaping opportunities and many other outdoor activities that could greatly benefit Parkway Baptist Church.
In the next week or so, I hope to solidify a date that I can use to gather the tennis team together to serve in our full capacity at Parkway, dedicated to serving our community to the best of our ability.
