Super Serve Saturday

Super Serve Saturday Projects for October 17

Partner with the United Women in Faith to prepare for their Fall/Christmas Craft Sale:

A great project for children, friends, and families to serve together!
This serve project will take place at the church (Welcome Center) between 10:00a-1:00p and there are multiple projects to choose from (blanket making, crafts, etc.)
You can choose to remain at one station the whole time or you can float to multiple stations while you are there.
If you want to keep what you make, you may wish to make a donation.
Can’t make it the whole time? Not a problem! When you sign up to serve, let us know what time you plan on being there in comments.
Childcare is available at the church if needed for those 3 and younger. Sign up for project/childcare by Wednesday, October 14th at 5:00p.

Attend the Habitat for Humanity’s Shalom Coalition 31st House Dedication and Lunch:

While not a traditional Super Serve Saturday project, come to witness and celebrate the work that has been done by people at our church and members of other faith communities through the Shalom Coalition’s 31st house build. Pastors Todd and Kevin along with Eric Riggs and Jeff Sheldon are providing support for the dedication through scripture reading, prayer, music, and lunch.
The dedication ceremony will take place starting at 10:00a followed by a lunch catered by Jeff Sheldon at 11:00a. This is a great way to learn about our community partner Habitat for Humanity, how to get involved with future Shalom Coalition builds, and support the Kelley family on their new home! Children are welcomed and encouraged to attend!
The address is: 1665 Jonathan Ave., Cincinnati, Ohio 45207
