GO-VEMBER: Serving Our Community Together
This November, we’re putting our faith into action through GO-VEMBER — a month dedicated to serving our community alongside our ministry partners. From local service projects and family support events to food bank volunteering and Christmas outreach, there are plenty of ways to get involved! Check out the opportunities below and sign up to serve. Let’s grow in discipleship by serving side by side!
