In the Bible, Jesus tells his disciples to “Go and Do” – spread the Gospel, make disciples, and share with others.
Join us at Weddington this August for the Great Week of Service. We’ll partner with local agencies to serve those in need in our community. From yard cleanups to fostering kindness, we’ll spread God’s love in various ways. Let’s “Go and Do” and be the church that God calls us to be.
Interested in supporting Great Week, but unavailable at that time? Throughout the month of July, we will be collecting hygiene items, backpacks, and school supplies which will be assembled into kits during Great Week. Click here for a full list of items needed.
