There are opportunities to serve all around us. Opportunities to shelter those who have survived disaster; to feed those who are hungry; to clothe those who have little; to nurture those who are sick; to love children whose parents can't; to help a neighbor. Through ENGAGE, we plan to make these opportunities available to you. If there is a new serving opportunity that is significant to you, please email us and let us know.

rEcess, 99 Balloons ministryOn Friday, February 3 we spent the evening at Church at Arkansas and on December 16 we spent the evening at Grace Church in Fayetteville, buddying up with special needs children. This program allows parents a night off to do whatever they want or need. It was a great evening to extend love to wonderful children while also giving parents some much needed time away. |

Fall Fest Day, Potters House MinistryOn Sunday, November 6 we spent the afternoon with at-risk children ranging from newborn to teens during Potter's House Fall Fest Day. We helped with hayrides, facepainting, frisbee, football and roasted lots of hot dogs and s'mores. It was a wonderful opportunity to lend a helping hand and share Christ's love with nearly 30 children and their parents. |

Serving Day @ The FarmWe spent the morning of June 18th getting our hands dirty at The Farm, run by the Cobblestone Project in Fayetteville. It was an amazing opportunity to serve families around us and do something a little different! If YOU would like to be the farmer, check out the Cobblestone Project website for ways to serve. |

Joplin Serving DayMay 30th, Memorial Day, was a day we will not soon forget. Our group of 20 was one among many volunteer groups aiding in the Joplin relief effort. The devastation that we saw in every direction was eye opening, but among the rubble and pain there was a widespread notion of hope. We saw smiles, laughter, messages of encouragement to loved ones. Because of your prayers and your efforts to rebuild, this will not be the end for Joplin. Please look at these pictures and consider how you can contribute.
