GO Week of Service is designed to spur us on to adorn the gospel through practical acts of love and good works to our neighbors & community. GO Week is part of this year’s theme of Kingdom Advance. We invite you to go with humble ambition by serving on one or more of the following projects:

 

Week-Long Event

Host a Food Drive

Did you know that some of the cheapest items for you to buy at the grocery store are some of the most expensive & hardest items for Mission Food Pantry to find? We are currently serving over 1000 families each month, so these costs add up quickly! As part of the Week of Service, we are asking every household in our church to consider hosting a food drive at your business, school, gym, etc. or right in your own neighborhood. We will have collection boxes and instructions available in the lobby for you to pick up on Sunday mornings leading up to the Week of Service and display at your organization (just don’t forget to get their permission first!). Food can be collected any time during the year.

Stop by the table in the lobby or email tammi@mission-church.com for more information.
