In the fall of 2018, a small group of local church leaders began discussing the possibility of a Sunday morning when all the churches that wished to participate would join together in a Sunday morning of service in the community of Clifton.
They began pondering how they might shift the perspective of their congregations to not only see who their neighbors were, but to work with and get to know those neighbors. They began listing qualities of good neighbors.
Good neighbors…
– have fun together,
– help each other on projects
– care for and take care of each other
They began to wonder “What would it be like if all of Clifton saw itself as a large neighborhood?” In this way, anyone could contribute to the needs of another neighbor, be it in specific skills, elbow grease or just friendship. The best part of looking at the city of Clifton as a large neighborhood is that the mindset and relationships can last for longer than the day!
