Great Day of Service

On Saturday, March 10 at 8 a.m., we'll celebrate our first Great Day of Service as we gather to go out into the community to serve others. We’ll do great things—paint, clean, sort—all for those in need. The blessings and memories will go on long after the day is over, and impact us as much as our actions will impact others.

So, make plans now to join us we celebrate our Great Day of Service.  Register yourself, your family, and your friends! Let us know which project you’d like to serve with, or choose to be sent wherever you are needed most.  Check in will begin at 8 a.m. in McWhirter Hall, followed by a short worship time and instructions for the day, then head out to our projects to finish by Noon.
