Description:

“We jumped in our church van armed with snow shovels (there was at least one foot of snow on the ground!), cleaning supplies and garbage bags. We started out in prayer asking God to lead us [to] be a help to people. As we drove out of the parking lot, I pointed out, “When do we have time to simply be available to help other people? How can we help someone today? We are going to drive around and if you see a need, then let’s see if we can help!” We began by picking up trash, returning lost lacrosse gear, and shoveling off playground equipment. Other service projects included shoveling off porch decks, prayer with neighbors, and small cleaning projects. In all, we enjoyed our time together even throwing snowballs but more importantly being available and ready to help our community.”
