Worship Through Service

Taewoong Won

On Tuesday, 10 May, a group of seniors gathered in front of the gym instead of going to their A block class. They were getting ready to go to the Kawan House as part of their service project for their Spiritual Discipline’s class.

The Kawan House serves food and provides a place to rest and shower to those in need. Although it is known that the Kawan House is for homeless people, not everyone who visits Kawan is homeless. Some people do have their own house, but their income is minimal that they do not have enough money to afford meals every day.

At the Kawan House, seniors cleaned the house and served breakfast to people.

Sheng Ting Yang, one of the seniors who went to the Kawan House, said, “It was great. It was fun. I liked it, and people were nice.”

He also noted that his motivation for joining the service project was to “experience what the Kawan House was like.”

Service is an important part of life. Through service, we not only sacrifice ourselves and our time to help others, but we also take off our shaded glasses of prejudice towards groups of people, like the homeless or poor, and realize that we are equal people before God.
