Acts of Kindness

October 21 - November 19, 2023

“…they shared with those in need…with joy and generosity.”
Acts 2:45,46

October and November are our Acts of Kindness Months!!  Our desire is that many people within the congregation will participate in some project to show kindness to our community.

GOAL:  We are challenging all small groups, families or friend groups this Fall to come up with a service project and to complete it before November 19th. Ideally and what has more lasting effects, is when an individual, family or small group reaches out to someone they know personally – maybe a neighbor or co-worker of someone in your group who is in need or a school that your kids attend that has a need.  Clean up and weed a widow's yard, help repair or paint at a neighbor's home or a shelter or other community building, clean up and landscape at your child's school, serve at a food bank, make cookies and encouragement cards for public servants, or cook a meal for a group of elderly folks.  The possibilities are limitless!!

POSSIBLE GROUP PROJECTS YOUR SMALL GROUP COULD ADOPT:  

1.  OCT. 28th - Homeless Garden Project - volunteers needed for their Fall Sustain Dinner.  Contact Omar at  to sign up.

  4. Tear-down Crew (5 volunteers): Volunteers in this role would assist with cleaning up after the event. Tasks include putting away chairs, gathering tables, and handling additional items—time: 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
