We don’t want to simply consume the good news, we want it to take such deep roots in us that it spills out all over the way we live and love and act in the world, that through God’s spirit in us we would become good news to everyone around us. So on Serve Sunday, we’re going out into the community to serve our neighbors in the North Shore with the love of God!
Kids, we would love for you to serve with us! There are service projects we would love for you to be part of. Parents, we will be providing childcare for any children ages 3 and under at the church during Serve Sunday at 10 Dane St. Just indicate that you’ll be wanting childcare on the sign-up form.
Register soon to serve one of our partners on the morning of Sunday, January 29th! After you sign-up, you'll receive more specific details related to the project you choose as needed.
