SERVICE OPPORTUNITY: YARD WORK.

On Sunday, June 11, directly after our Sunday Gathering, we’ll have a service opportunity to make our campus more welcoming, hospitable, and enjoyable for our church, the other churches that meet on our campus, and the neighbors that use Hope Park and pass by: we’ll be pulling weeds, replacing old mulch and torn weed cloth, re-burying drip lines, and doing any other yard work that’s needed for about two hours and we’ll provide lunch midway through for everyone who volunteers to serve. We have all the necessary gear to accomplish this but feel free to bring your own and please dress appropriately. Thank you for serving!
