This week's Announcements:
As we hear how Jesus engaged with acts of Service, we want to give you the opportunity to serve as well. Here are four “hot spots” or opportunities that need your help in the next few months. For more details, visit the website ljpres.events/serve.
The Harvest Festival is November 4th. It’s one of our biggest community outreaches of the year, and there are fun service opportunities with setting up, running events, cleaning up, and more.
October 28th, we are serving at UrbanLife Farms. We will be planting, harvesting, weeding, putting down mulch and preparing beds. If you have any little ones, we have a special project for them in our Children’s Garden!
There are ongoing Youth and Children’s Ministry service opportunities. Sunday mornings or Wednesday nights, there are lots of great ways to serve our kids: There are places for greeters, helpers, teachers, and more.
The fourth serve opportunity is sharing the Christmas Spirit. As Christmas approaches, there are joyous ways to serve the community and invite them in. Help with the Christmas Parade, Church Christmas decorating and the MOM Toy drive.
You can find contact information and how to get plugged in to these serving opportunities at ljpres.events/serve.
