On May 17-18, United Methodists from across the country and around the world will pull together for an event to help Change the World in both large and small ways. For the fifth year, local churches will take on service projects that improve the circumstances of others and spark public interest in volunteer activities.

The kit includes sermon starters, a lawn banner, a Rethink Church t-shirt, and more.
