DAY

 

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2024

Instead of our regular Sunday services, we will serve our city. Serve Day's vision is for us, the local church, to go into our communities and love our neighbors. We hope that through practical projects and acts of service, people's hearts will be opened to the love of Jesus.

Join us at the Serve Day rally as we gather, pray, and head out to our projects.

Date: Sunday, September 8, 2024

Time: 8a-12p

Rally Location: Helotes Fairgrounds

12210 Leslie Rd, Helotes, TX 78023
