GO Week of Service is designed to spur us on to proclaim the gospel through practical acts of love and good works to our neighbors & community. GO Week is part of our theme of Kingdom Advance. We invite you to go with humble ambition by serving on one or more of the following projects.
Take a look through and sign up at the bottom of the page.
Begins March 22
Food Drive
Did you know that some of the cheapest items you can buy at the grocery store are also among the most expensive & hardest for Mission Food Pantry to find? We are currently serving over 1500 families each month, so these costs add up quickly! As part of the Week of Service, we are collecting basic pantry items. Pick up a grocery bag & shopping list at the Week of Service table, fill it with groceries, and return it.
Due: Sunday, May 3
Baby Bottle Blessings
We have a great opportunity to join with A Woman’s Concern, a local pregnancy care center, and show our support for the sanctity of life. Stop by the Week of Service table in the lobby and pick up a baby bottle. Fill the bottle all month long with coins and spare cash (you can also write a check). The proceeds make a difference in the lives of the people served by A Woman’s Concern.
