“For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” 

GALATIANS 5:14 ESV

THOUGHT

“The only way we will love our neighbors as ourselves is by getting to know our neighbors, even in the midst of our differences. The only way to truly know someone is by being with them, by conversation.”

CHALLENGE

Hey Neighbor!

Some of the most meaningful connections begin with just one small step… like a knock on the door. Chances are, there’s someone living just a few feet away from you whose name you don’t know. They might be the quiet neighbor, the one with the barking dog, the older couple down the street, or the new family that moved in last month. Whoever they are, this is your invitation to meet them.

Not to preach. Not to impress. Just to be present.

Maybe bring a plate of cookies, a small care package, or even just a handwritten note. Here’s something simple you could say: “Hi! I’m ___ and I live just down the street. I’m doing a ‘Love Your Neighbor’ challenge with my church and realized we haven’t officially met yet—I just wanted to introduce myself.”

That’s it. No pressure. Just presence.
