Love in Action has two primary ways of helping you connect with service in the community through Grace:
1. Second Saturday: short, monthly Saturday morning service projects.
2. Service Teams: ongoing teams with a particular service focus, such as handyman projects, driving people, and creating cards, to name a few. These teams may sometimes respond to an internal Grace request, but the primary focus is to express the love of Christ to our local community by hands-on service.
Other ongoing opportunities to serve:
