SHEEP AND GOATS SUNDAYS Then the righteous will answer him, “Lord when did we see you hungry and give you food or thirsty and give you something to drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you or naked and gave you clothing?

Why Sheep and Goats Sundays? 1. To be accountable to Jesus’ call to serve our neighbor in word and deed 2. Alone we can feel overwhelmed by the needs around us; together we can make a difference 3. It’s fun to give because that’s the way God made us.
