MCC SERVE DAY: September 26, 2021
MCC partners and attendees are participating in a national movement called SERVE. Through SERVE Day, churches around the world identify local community needs, and provide opportunities for volunteers to share the love of God through practical acts of kindness.
MCC SERVE Day will be held on September 26, 2021. Our Serve Team has identified multiple SERVE projects to benefit our Morgantown and Birdsboro communities, and arranged for these projects to take place through SERVE Day. These opportunities range from cleaning up local areas, to showing appreciation to those who rarely get a thank you they deserve. We have chosen projects so that there is a SERVE opportunity for everyone to choose from, regardless of age, skills, or physical abilities.
