Following Jesus isn’t passive — it’s active! Do Something Serve Week is a focused opportunity to step outside the church and serve alongside local organizations that are already making a difference across our communities. This week is about showing up, meeting real needs, and putting your faith into action in practical ways. There’s a place for you. Let’s do something!
