Serve Day 2019

Serve Day 2019
Saturday, July 13, 2019, 9:00 AM

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

Serve Day provides churches across the world with opportunities to serve their local communities and share the love of God through practical acts of kindness. Our hope is that serving others becomes our focus throughout the year. Simple acts of selfless love can open hearts to Jesus, and together we can make a difference.

Time: 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. (At 9 a.m. we will all meet at Freedom Church for breakfast, prayer and pictures and head out to projects around 9:30 a.m. Teams will begin their projects around 9:45/10 a.m. Some projects may conclude prior to 4 p.m. and lunch plans will be determined by the project leaders.
