2nd Sunday in the Streets
Once a month, in lieu of a conventional morning worship service, Parkside River Campus
worships God through obedience to his command to “Love your Neighbor.” We call it
2nd Sunday in the Streets.

Why do we do 2nd Sunday in the Streets?
| Jesus’ teaching showed his followers a new way to look at the
world and a new way to look at their purpose. He taught about
what love is and what it looks like to extend love not only to
those who are easy to love, but also to enemies and to those we
don’t even know. It is this kind of love that separates his followers
from the rest of the world and this love that should define
everything we do, including how we worship. |
“By this all men will
know that you are my
disciples, if you love one
another.”
- John 13:35 |
“And this is love: that we
walk in obedience to his
commands. As you have
heard from the
beginning, his command
is that you walk in love.”
- 2 John 1:6 |
A normal Sunday in the Streets will take place on the second
Sunday of the month. It includes at least two organized service
activities in the River Campus neighborhood that happen during
the usual morning worship service time. People sign up for one of
these activities in the weeks prior to Sunday in the Streets so the
leaders have a general idea of how many people will be working.
The groups meet for a brief time of teaching and fellowship, then
head out to love their neighbors in a concrete way. |
To best serve the community, Second Sunday in the streets won’t always be the second Sunday,
it won’t always be just on Sunday and only a few of the service opportunities will actually be in
the streets. Loving people isn’t a program, so we cannot dictate exactly how it happens. What
we do is simply create opportunities for selfless Christian love to flow and to show others what
that looks like. It may change their life; it will certainly change yours. |
"Teacher, which is the greatest
commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied:
" 'Love the Lord your God with all your
heart and with all your soul and with all
your mind.' This is the first and greatest
commandment. And the second is like it:
'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the
Law and the Prophets hang on these two
commandments."
- Matthew 22:36-40 |
