Let's Serve! It's National Day of Service!



Would you love to show our gratitude for our servicemen and women who worked so hard to serve on 9/11? Take the time next week to engage in conscious acts of service throughout our area during the week of National Day of Service (11th-17th). What will you do to serve?


Here are some ideas!



Individual Activity Ideas

  • Make a treat for your neighbor

  • Minister to others

  • Forgive a grudge, end/remove conflicts in your personal life (President Nelson’s Invitation)

  • Offer to change the batteries in the smoke detectors of your ministering families or class members you teach

  • Make (quilt, crochet, knit, sew) baby blankets for newborns. Deliver to Shasta Community Health Center

  • Call or text someone you haven’t seen in awhile
