Pastor Tim - where do I sign up?
I would love to hold the babies and help out at the Degroot Home.

I loved hearing the importance of service over dominion last night in impacting the culture and kept thinking about Serve Day and the great impact this event could have on our community. I'm fired up too.
how exciting! i'm sorry we'll be missing it. i would have loved to have spent time at the degroot home--i've been there before and will never, ever forget those children that 99.99% of society has forgotten. the degroots provide an amazing service and will surely be blessed by any help they receive!
this sounds like such a wonderful idea!! makes me want to come borrow you're church for the weekend... but we have other obligations that day. i hope you post about how it all went.
Wow, I'm amazed! Great to hear the church is being called to serve together on that day. Don't think I'll be able to make it, but sounds like a lot of fun.
Sounds like you've got a ton of projects lined up that will benefit a lot of people.
Are you guys ever gonna make the High School Mexico Trip into a church wide project? I know the logistics would be horrendous, but that would be awesome!
