Saturday of Service (SOS), May 1st and 2nd

thousands are coming together to serve others........

Mark your calendars for our next SOS coming up the 1st weekend of May, Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd. This SOS will be an extra special one as our church will be joining 40+ churches across Dallas to GO AND BE the church that Jesus has called us to be. Take a look at their website http://www.goandbe.org/ for the heart and soul of this initiative.

While you are on their site, you can view all the "Projects" that are available (keep checking back as projects are being added daily) and sign up for the one that speaks to your family.
