Put Your Values to Work !
Join us for the 7th annual Community Service Sunday! On this Sunday we have a special 15-minute service, and then go into the greater community to perform a variety of service-based projects. Then come back together for a lunch and sharing time. This year's service is July 25th, and we're inviting the neighborhood to join us!
Some of the events we have this year include:
* Making Sandwiches at the Simpson shelter
* Clean Lowry/7 Pools Park
* Sewing Tote Bags for the Dignity Center
* Voter Registration at Cub Foods
* Clean up FUS-sponsored section of the Midtown Greenway
* Landscaping at the Agape 24-hour Child Care Center
We also have a blood drive occurring during the morning, so be sure to sign up today! Not only that, we're serving a community lunch with the neighborhood at 12:30. Sign-up in the Lower Assembly Hall. We look forward to seeing you there!
