2022 – The Year to Serve

Our yearly focus for 2022 will be The Year to Serve. Each month, there is a theme that centers around weekly serve opportunities and weekly Bible verses. This will enable our church family to serve and learn together.

Every week on “Mission Monday”, we will share the Serve Opportunity and Bible verse on social media. That is 52 weeks and 52 serve opportunities in 2022. Each of the serve opportunities will give you a chance to engage in missions with family members, Sunday School classes, small groups, or by yourself.

During the Year to Serve, I encourage you to share what God shows you through your service. Our hope and prayer for the upcoming year is that God will be seen in all that we do and that we, along with the recipients of our service, experience God like never before.
