Season of Service (SOS)
Jesus loved those around Him in both word and deed. Like Jesus, your church can meet the needs in your community through a Season of Service project. By serving, you open the door to the life-changing message of the Gospel of our Saviour. "You are the light of the world - let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your father in heaven." (Matthew 5:14-16)
