Registration Information | Fall Serve Saturday
In 2021, we invite churches, individuals, and families to participate in Fall Serve as a Saturday, day-only program. We are offering two dates, to allow more people to participate while reaching more people with God's love.
You will have the option to choose outdoor, indoor, or remote worksites, based on what works best for your church and participants. We are also working to provide outdoor worship and/or prayer each day.

Frequently Asked Questions
IS THERE A COST TO REGISTER?
No, Fall Serve Saturday is free to allow as many people as possible to participate!
There is a suggested donation of $25 per person or $50 per family, to help cover the outreach costs. These donations will help THP purchase supplies for our volunteer projects, and any excess funds will be used to support THP's additional programs and mission.
There's also an option to purchase a long-sleeved shirt for just $15 or a sweatshirt for $30 - this is something fun we can wear during the event, and something memorable you can wear after the event.
Making a donation and purchasing a shirt or sweatshirt are both optional; neither is required to participate in Fall Serve Saturday.
WHO CAN ATTEND?
Fall Serve Saturday is open to all ages! Youth groups, families, and adults are all welcome to participate.
AS A CHURCH LEADER, SHOULD I STILL COMPLETE THE CHURCH REGISTRATION FORM?
Yes, we encourage you to complete a church registration form. Even though individuals and families can register on their own, completing a church registration form will allow THP to communicate with you directly, provide you with promotional materials, and make sure your group is assigned to the same service project(s) and team(s). Register your church today!
WHERE?
Student Worksite Teams are sent out to various ministry sites in Hartford throughout the weekend to experience and share God's love. We also plan to offer remote options for those who want to participate from their local churches or homes.
