At Calvary, we Love the 419 because 1 John 4:19 challenges us to love others because God loved us first! Serve Week is our opportunity as a whole church to go into our community and love our neighbors in practical and intentional ways with no strings attached.
Mark your calendars for July 17 – July 20 as we love the Old South End with projects that allow us to connect with neighbors and beautify the community! We will end the week with a special Block Party to celebrate and bless the community. No matter your age, schedule, or skill, there is a project for you!
Register now to let us know which day you will join us and which project you would like to be a part of!
Each project is designed to be a blessing to those in the community! When we love with no strings attached, we are an example of 1 John 4:19. First, click on the day you want to serve and then select your project!
See below for a sample of this year’s projects!
Step into the community with us as we cover the streets in prayer. We will pray with neighbors, hand out special gifts, and invite them to our Thursday Block Party. Maps will be provided. Family Friendly- Bring wagons and strollers for kids!
There are many people in a community that help others. We will be blessing those that bless the community by delivering dinner, small gifts, and offering words of affirmation. Family Friendly.
Bless the community with a simple need; clean clothes. Join us as we provide quarters and soap at a local laundromat. Engage in conversation, be a listening ear, and let our friends know we love them.
