What is it?
The Mission Team hopes you will join us for this special annual day in the life of Southminster Presbyterian Church! It is a day when we do not have a worship service so that we can worship and praise God through compassionate acts of service. Please sign up for one of the projects listed in this email as soon as possible so that you can get your first choice before available slots are filled.
(Please note that we need someone to be the leader of each project. Contact the office or a member of the Mission Team if you are willing to be a leader.)
