5 Ways to Make Summer Count

By May 26, 2017No Comments

What are you doing this summer? Are you and cold brew on your mind.

Regardless of your plans, the summer is approaching fast, and remind you to serve. Colossians 3:23 states, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”

Here are five ways you, your family and families in need:

1 – Help feed children and families in need in Jacksonville.
Throughout the summer, our Jacksonville campus is hosting a feeding program for children and need YOU to serve with us! Get involved by visiting the Compassion Ministries website or contacting Compassion@FBCHomes.org.

Groups: Youth, college, young adults, small groups, adults, senior adults

There are more than 10,000 children in Florida who need loving and how you can start the process here.
