Serve
for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.
– Matthew 25:35-36
At the heart of our faith here at Arlington Presbyterian is God’s power that continues to speak and transform us. Jesus’ ways of caring for the poor and hurting call us to serve our neighborhood here in South Arlington and beyond. We listen and build relationships with our neighbors to know how to be in service to one another. We are engaged in acts of love and compassion on an on-going basis, including with our partners below.
