And our Spring Carmel SERVE (April 26-29) is a great way for individuals and families to get connected with a local ministry partner to BUILD relationships and LIVE the gospel with EVERYTHING.
This is a sampling of what we have planned:
Play bingo with and encourage nursing home residents.
Deliver beds and needed furniture to families.
Beautify school grounds with families at partner CMS schools.
Assemble snack bags for at-risk children in CMS.
Pray for the needs in our city and write notes of encouragement to ministry partners and their clients.
Serve meals and play board games with men and women recovering from addiction.
