We had an incredible time serving our neighbors last week for Bushwick Love Week showing God's love in practical ways. This included block and park cleanups, hanging basketball nets, giving away hundreds of bottled waters, granola bars and even over 350 lunches!

This would not have been possible if not for the hard work of Victory Baptist and First Baptist Great Falls. Thank you so much for following God's leading in serving the people of Bushwick.

Thank you also to those of you who financially contribute to Swerve Church. Your generosity helps to fund these projects and to share the love of Jesus with the people of Bushwick.

Swerve Church is a new church forming in the community of Bushwick in Brooklyn which is in NYC.

We love Bushwick!!! Do you?

We're starting a new initiative called "Bushwick Love Week" which will start next week July 20 - 25. With this we would love to ask, what could you do to serve a neighbor or your community during Bushwick Love Week? Here's a few of the things we'll be doing:

• Park cleanups
• Adopt-a-blocks
• Cleaning business windows
• Hanging basketball nets
• A BBQ for a local shelter
• Paint the fence for a local shelter
• Water and granola bar giveaways

We'd love to hear what ideas you  have to serve someone next week. Let's start a servolution. The Bible teaches us to "serve one another in love" (Gal. 5:13). So why not join the initiative and serve a neighbor, a friend, family member, or your community?

Join in on the conversation on social media. Post your pictures and videos using the hashtag #BushwickLoveWeek. Let's make it happen!
