we love to give


At Lighthouse, we believe that we can change the world one small act of kindness at a time. 

Random acts of kindness are a great way to show the love of Jesus to our community.


After all, wouldn't you like to be given a free cup of coffee? 

Or maybe have your meal paid for by the person in front of you in line? 

And wouldn't it be especially great if that someone just enjoyed serving you

for no reason - with no strings attached? 

These small acts of love and service confront the heart before they confront the mind

and can nudge a person closer to God, often in a profound way. 


And remember: 

“It's not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving.” 

-Mother Teresa


Here are some ideas for random acts of kindness that you can perform to start

showing our community the love of Jesus today! 


With each act of kindness, leave the little card with them to let them know that God loves them.
