REGISTRATION INFO | Summer Serve Saturday
This July, we invite churches, individuals, and families to participate in Summer Serve Saturday. We are offering this event in addition to our two Summer Outreach Weeks, to allow more people to participate while reaching more people with God's love. This event is open to all ages and is a great opportunity for people to build relationships with the wider body of Christ and engage in ministry alongside THP worksite partners. 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 a time of worship and prayer.
