SERVICE SATURDAY – Houston Food Bank

Join us on Saturday, June 22, for “Service Saturday” at The Houston Food Bank as we “GO in God’s Love“. This is our opportunity to serve the community by demonstrating to be the hands, the feet and the mouthpiece of Jesus. “Service Saturday” is a church-wide community service day when the members of our congregation put our faith into action!

We need you to sign-up to serve! This includes you, your ministry, your family, and your friends. All are welcome to participate! If you want to volunteer and unable to commit to the four (4) hour shift, please email cdejean@wvumc.com.   

Let’s represent our Church Family on this day by wearing your favorite church or ministry shirt. If you don’t have a church shirt, come anyway!  Looking forward to seeing you.
