Community Days of Service
Our annual Community Days of Service event offers us a special opportunity, as followers of Christ, to go out together into our community as servants. This year’s projects are scheduled for Saturday, September 25, 2010, so keep that date open on your calendar. News of specific opportunities to serve will be publicized early this fall.
Community Service - Scenic Heights School
Community Service - Bridge Faith In Action
Fall 2010 will mark the third year Faith Church has plans to participate in service projects around our community. In 2008 we began with people from our congregation working on 14 projects. In 2009, Gethsemane Lutheran joined us as cosponsors of the Community Days of Service events, which offered 32 different opportunities to serve our area. Projects offered something for everyone, children as well as adults, and included indoor and outdoor painting at schools and other public facilities, outdoor cleanup projects, habitat restoration, blanket making, playing games with seniors, and conducting a winter clothes drive. Work was followed by a community meal and celebration in Central Park in Hopkins. The City of Hopkins awarded Community Days of Service the first annual “Raspberry Award for Building on the Small Town Feel in Hopkins.”
