They agree to treat each other as sisters and brothers would because we are sisters and brothers in Christ’s redemptive work.  If you would like to become a member of University Lutheran, please talk to Pastor Jay.</p>\x0a<p>(From the University Lutheran worship guide)</p>\x0a<p>Image: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bemky/3220424667/">Worship BG- We Are The Body of Christ by bemky at Flickr</a></p>\x0a                </div>\x0a            </li>\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a\x0a                        \x0a    \x0a        \x0a            <li class="tumblr_post tumblr_text_post">\x0a                \x0a                    <div class="tumblr_title">Love Your Neighbor - Writing Postcards</div>\x0a                \x0a                \x0a                <div class="tumblr_body">\x0a                    <p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3569/3473913359_ee65dffa98.jpg" width="500" align="right" height="333"/> &#8220;Love Your Neighbor&#8221; is one of University Lutheran&#8217;s evangelism projects.  Part of the project is to get people to pray for those who recently have moved into our area.  I figured I would share a little about &#8220;Love Your Neighbor&#8221;.  If you have any questions, feel free to use the comment feature. - jW</p>\x0a<p><b>Love Your Neighbor – Postcard Addressing Packet</b></p>\x0a<p>Thanks so much for picking up a “Love Your Neighbor” postcard addressing packet!  “Love Your Neighbor” is one of University Lutheran’s evangelism projects.  Here is a simple overview of how “Love Your Neighbor” works:</p>\x0a<p><i>University Lutheran buys a list of people who have moved into the area around University Lutheran.  The first thing that we send is a postcard welcoming people into the neighborhood and telling them a little about us (this is what you’re addressing).  The second contact they receive is a phone call from University Lutheran.  They receive a 3<sup>rd</sup> contact when we go out into the community with the “Love Your Neighbor” bags.  After they receive a bag, we contact them 3 more times over the next 3 months by postcard or phone. </i></p>\x0a<p><i> </i></p>\x0a<p>Your postcard addressing packet should include:</p>\x0a<p><!--[if !supportLists]-->1.       <!--[endif]-->This instruction sheet</p>\x0a<p><!--[if !supportLists]-->2.       <!--[endif]-->About 25 printed postcards</p>\x0a<p><!--[if !supportLists]-->3.       <!--[endif]-->A list of 20 names and addresses</p>\x0a<p>Step by step instructions:</p>\x0a<p><!--[if !supportLists]-->1.       <!--[endif]-->Make sure you have everything you need</p>\x0a<p><!--[if !supportLists]-->2.       <!--[endif]-->Set aside one hour of time</p>\x0a<p><!--[if !supportLists]-->3.       <!--[endif]-->Write the name and address of the person in the space provided (see below)</p>\x0a<p><!--[if !supportLists]-->4.       <!--[endif]-->**DO NOT SKIP** Say a prayer for the person the postcard will go to.  Here are some sample prayers:</p>\x0a<p><!--[if !supportLists]-->a.       <!--[endif]-->“Lord Jesus, I don’t know who [say the person’s name] is, but You do.  Let this card show them that You care for them and that I care for them.  Let this card show Your care that You showed me through the cross.  In Your Name, Amen.”</p>\x0a<p><!--[if !supportLists]-->b.      <!--[endif]-->“Holy Spirit, work in the heart of [say the person’s name] so that they might know Your love shown in Scripture and in the person and work of Jesus Christ.  Let this card, this prayer, and my work be a witness to that love.
