Saturday: Serve Our Community
The focus of Saturday, July 13 is to serve both in various ways and various locations throughout our community. This year, we encourage you to get with your small group, a friends group, or jump in with where others may be meeting and serve in a way that you are able. While there is a list of ideas (below), you may know of needs where you can step up to help. Go for it!
Remember to sign up and let us know that you are serving - because we have a FREE SHIRT for everyone serving during Love The City this year!

Sunday: Service & Blessing
On Sunday, July 14, we will be having our service at Breiel Church in the morning. Then from 3PM-4:30PM at Sunset Park, we are going to be giving out Kona Ice for FREE (for the first 175 or until 4:30PM) on what we anticipate will be a hot summer day. Our goal is to be a blessing to our community and create a connection point through conversations during these events. These are also opportunities to love our city through serving.
