“They’re so heavenly mind they’re no earthly good.” Those words are based on the presumption that if you believe in life after death, you are not interested in life here on earth. The people of Georgetown Baptist on PEI certainly do not fit that mold. Last month, they put together a team of 30, mainly people from the church, to help the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life event. Supported by many people in the Georgetown community, through pledges, a car wash and barbecue, the church team called “Cruisin’ for a Cure” raised over $4,000 for the Cancer Society. They were awarded the “most spirited Team” at the Relay for Life event, as well as a given a Bronze award for raising over $3500. These good people “are not ashamed of the gospel of Christ” and try to help friends and neighbors get ready for the next life. But they also believe that we “are our brother’s keeper” and want to share God’s love here and now. Now that’s Christianity in action.
