Jesus said, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.”

WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR?

Jesus was not only speaking about our physical neighbors, but anyone who God puts around us regularly. These could be our co-workers, our family and friends, and those with whom we share spaces. Specifically lifted up in our sacred stories are those most vulnerable in society: the foreigner, the immigrant, the oppressed, the poor, the widow, and the orphan. We are invited to care about them even if we never meet them. Jesus made clear in his story of the Good Samaritan that “neighbor” even applies to strangers along the road.

It can be easy to become overwhelmed with what it would mean to love all of our neighbors well – this is why a focus on our geographical neighbors can be a good start in taking tangible steps toward Jesus’ command. And it can start simply. For instance, even just learning our neighbors’ names means we are one step closer to being able to love them well.

Quarantine Bingo For Teens

Our increased time at home this year has given us the opportunity to get to know our neighbors better. As the weather cools and the snow begins to fall, we Minnesotans can easily retreat into the warmth of our homes and forget we even have neighbors. You are invited to play Neighborhood Bingo as a way to get out and get to know some of your neighbors in a safe physically distanced way. The hope is we can grow in relationship and trust – this is how we earn the opportunity to hear their stories and perhaps share ours.

Here is your Bingo Card!
