For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many
Mark 10:45

YOUR GIFTS. YOUR PASSIONS. YOUR SERVE.

On Serve Day we serve others by showing God’s love in practical ways through meeting the needs within our communities and spheres of influence. Simple acts of personal kindness can open hearts to the love of Jesus for both those being served and those serving. Serve Day is an opportunity for individuals and Discovery Groups to use their gifts and talents to glorify God by serving others.

We want every person who is passionate about helping people to find the right opportunities to effectively use their gifts to build up the body of Christ and extend the Kingdom of God. On July 9th, we’ll be serving in many ways across our community.

What is SERVE Day?

Serve Day is our annual outreach event during the Summer of our Discovery Groups calendar. It is an exciting opportunity for us, the local church, to go into our communities and love our neighbors. This summer, whether through a Discovery Group or by joining a Serve Day project, come be a part of serving our communities and sharing the love of Jesus through simple, practical acts of kindness.

SERVE Day is on July 9, 2022

There are so many different ways to serve our community, from really big construction projects to some simple acts of kindness!

Here are some great questions to help you decide on a project.

• Who in our neighborhood has a need?
• What business or organization within our sphere
of influence could use a blessing?
• What are some areas we are passionate about?
• What serve opportunities best suit our group’s
skills and abilities? (Prayer, worship, teaching,
physical labor, etc.)
