Eric Johnson House

Last weekend Liquid Church’s Morristown Campus gathered together to partner with New Jersey Aids Services to totally ‘makeover’ their house. It was an incredible weekend. You can read more about it in a post I wrote last week.

We had well over 300 people serve more than a total of 1000+ man hours. I am completely amazed at what has been done in our community by Liquid Church Volunteers. In our staff meeting this past week someone mentioned that they were talking to one of the residents of the New Jersey Aids Services home and they said this:

I know that God loves me because of what you guys are doing.

WOW! That is incredible. I am proud of our Church. Liquid Church, thanks for taking seriously what Jesus said in John 13:34-35

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.

It was good to see Christ on display for the community in Morristown, NJ. It doesn’t stop here either! Liquid New Brunswick and Liquid Nutley are each doing a weekend of serving this weekend too! I can’t wait to hear about the stories from their outreaches too.

Here is a Highlight Video from this past weekend here in Morristown. To check out some of the pictures taken that weekend click here.

Check out an article that the Daily Record wrote about what Liquid did last weekend.

Here is an article that the New Brunswick Patch has on what Liquid New Brunswick is doing.

Liquid Church Droplet Tomorrow something really exciting is going to take place. This weekend a crew of 215+ volunteers are going to descend upon the New Jersey Aids Service (aka the Eric Johnson House) and get cracking on an extreme makeover. Why you might ask?

That’s a great question. Pastor Tim Lucas, lead pastor at Liquid Church, explains that best. You can watch it here. Or you can download the audio version here.

In Luke 17:11-19 we see Jesus interacting with some people who were untouchable in His day and age. These were the lepers. They were the social outcasts who no one wanted around. No one even wanted to be near them. But Jesus did. In fact Jesus loved the untouchables. The question is, Do we?

The modern day lepers are those people with HIV Aids. This weekend we are going to break into our community with nothing but LOVE for a select group of people who most people think are outcasts and untouchable. Most people wouldn’t go near them with a ten foot pole.

IT’S TIME TO BREAK SOME POLES!

Check out the promo video below of what is going to go down in just a few short hours! There are still spaces available to sign up and join us. Sign up here.

Remember, “It is not a sin to be sick.”
