Shine 09

This weekend I will be wrapping up the When Love Comes To Town series.
I will be outlining our Shine 09 project, but here it is in a nutshell:

We have a goal of 1,200 volunteers from Foothills Community Church serving in our community on Saturday May 9th from 9:00am until noon. (this shouldn't be a problem considering last year we had 1,000 volunteers).
Do the math, 1,200 volunteers for 3 hours = 3,600 man hours of service!

We have invited all the churches in the county to be a part by serving as well. Several churches will be joining us. I'm not sure exactly how many people the other churches will provide, but I'm excited to be partnering with others to reach our community!

We have 125 projects lined up. We will be serving some schools, county parks, individuals with needs, providing food, building wheel chair ramps, and things of that nature. We will be painting, landscaping, etc.

There are no strings attached. There is no cost to the people we will be serving. They don't have to agree to come to our church----it is just our way of saying, "Christ loves you, and we love you"

There will be projects in all areas of the county. you will have ample opportunity on Sunday to select a project. We will have tables set up with descriptions of the projects and maps to get there. (On May 9th you will go straight to your project and start serving)

I will probably preach the shortest message that I ever have, to give plenty of time for you to get your project (at least, that's my goal!)

I believe that this could be the most important thing our church will do all year---do not miss out on history!
