April 18-19 is CityServe Weekend: Last year 2 congregations joined together for 2 days as 619 people served 2447 hours on 83 projects. This year the numbers start with 6 congregations. On Saturday and Sunday April 18 & 19, we are going into the community to do simple acts of service – walk the pathway of blessing and let the love of Jesus loose in the Centre Region. Instead of having church we are going to be the church. Instead of going to church, the church is going to the community. So don’t show up at any of Calvary’s worship gatherings. Led by our multi-church planning team we will be serving people in our area by meeting tangible needs. We will be demonstrating acts of kindness to encourage and uplift others in our community. That’s what CityServe is all about.
If you know of a person or organization that could be a CityServe opportunity, please go to http://www.sc-cityserve.org ASAP and complete the project proposal form. If you wish to discuss your proposal prior to submitting it, please contact Bob Barbash at bob@calvarysc.org or 238-0822, ext. 17.
If you are a part of a Life Group and would like to serve together during CityServe please contact Beckie Romig at rlr267@psu.edu.
On March 28th, the online catalog of projects will be available and registration will begin for all churches involved in CityServe. Computers will be available at each gathering to sign up for a project. A printed catalog listing all the service opportunities will be available for your review. You can register online at home as well. The CityServe Planning Team encourages everyone to register online as early as possible. Projects will fill quickly as hundreds of people sign up to serve our community.
