说明

做：

以下是 10 种个人或团队可以用来服侍他人的方式。它们不一定要是“秘密”的，但如果是，会更有趣！大多数情况下，这些活动不需要花费任何费用，并且可以在一个小时内完成，或者你可以把多个活动结合在一起，度过一个充满意义的服侍日。

10 种服侍他人的方式

探访养老院 - 去当地的养老院拜访住户。与他们聊天，或者准备一个小礼物送给他们。
清洁餐厅卫生间 - 走进一家当地餐厅，问问他们是否需要帮助清洁卫生间。他们可能会惊讶于你的请求！
帮助整理院子 - 拿上耙子和垃圾袋，去帮助社区中的老人或残疾人士清理落叶。如果是冬天，可以帮忙铲雪；如果是夏天，可以帮他们修剪草坪。
帮助收购物车 - 走进一家超市，主动帮忙收购物车。观察那些正在把购物袋放进车里的人，问他们是否需要你帮忙推回购物车。
免费加油服务 - 和团队一起去当地的加油站，主动帮人们加油和擦洗车窗。人们可能会用奇怪的眼神看你，但他们或许也会欣然接受你的帮助！
完全免费的洗车 - 举办一次完全免费的洗车活动。不接受捐款，不收取任何费用。纯粹为别人洗车，让他们感受到祝福，同时也能收获乐趣。
为有需要的家庭购物 - 约上朋友们，一起去给需要帮助的家庭购买食品。每人贡献一点钱，看看能买到多少物品。这在感恩节或圣诞节期间尤为合适。
挨家挨户提供帮助 - 组队在社区内挨家挨户敲门。当有人开门时，直接问：“今天有什么我可以帮您做的吗？”谁知道他们会需要什么帮助呢？他们可能会惊讶有人主动提供帮助！
组织“家长之夜”免费托管孩子 - 在教会或社区内为家长们提供免费的儿童托管服务。准备好游戏、手工和其他活动，让孩子们玩得开心。同时，给父母 3 到 4 小时的时间，让他们能安心享受一场约会之夜。
探访儿童医院 - 前往当地的儿童医院，看望住院的孩子们。许多医院会允许你组织一个小型表演（如游戏、短剧等）。这些生病的孩子们特别需要鼓励，而这样的活动是一个极佳的方式。不用等到节日，随时都可以行动！

Varies by service activity

What you will do:

Below are 10 ways in which an individual or a group can serve others. They don’t have to be a secret, but that adds to the fun. In most cases, you can do them absolutely free and in as little as an hour, or you can combine some to make for a wild day of service.

1. Go to a nursing home and visit the residents there. Just talk to them or prepare a small gift to give them.

2. Go to a local restaurant and ask if you can clean their bathrooms. They won’t believe you asked!

3. Get a rack, some yard waste bags, and head off some fall and rake as many leaves as you can for elderly or disabled individuals in your community. If it’s winter, shovel snow. If it’s summer, mow their grass.

4. Go to a grocery store and be a volunteer cart pusher. Watch for people putting groceries in their cars and ask if you can take their carts for them.

5. Go to a local gas station as a group and offer to pump people's gas and wash their windows. They’ll look at you like you're crazy, but they might just let you do it.

6. Have a totally free car wash. Don’t accept donations. Don’t charge a dime. Just wash cars. It’ll bless others and be fun, too.

7. Get together with some friends and go grocery shopping for a needy family. Pitch in a few dollars each and see how far you can stretch the money. This is a great idea around Thanksgiving or Christmas.

8. Go with a group and go door-to-door in your neighborhood. When people answer the door, simply ask, “Is there something I can do for you today?” Who knows what they’ll need help with, or how surprised someone offered!

9. Have a date night for parents in your church or community and provide babysitting at no cost. Prepare games, crafts, and activities for the kids. Give parents at least 3 or 4 hours to go out together.

10. Go to a children’s hospital in your area and visit the kids there. Many places would let you put on a small program (games, skits, etc.). Those who are sick really need a boost and this is a great way to do it. Don’t wait for a holiday—do it any time!
