Last year, over 1,100 volunteers representing 16 local churches
served at approximately 120 different project sites. The projects
were conducted at people's homes, community organizations and in
public spaces. The projects included painting, roadside cleanup,
wheelchair ramp construction, visiting nursing home residents,
yardwork and much more.This year's event will once again conclude
with an interdenominational worship service that evening. Last
year's worship service welcomed over 1,000 people to wrap up the day
of service and camaraderie. The service will be at 7 p.m. Sept. 26
at the Lincoln Christian University Chapel. This year's speaker will
be Dr. Robert Lowery, presenting "A Dying Man's View of the Book of
Revelation."
Volunteers can serve in many capacities, from carpentry work to
visiting nursing home residents. Project leaders will be assigned to
each project and will be responsible for overseeing the work of each
project and contacting the volunteers on their team.
Any Lincoln resident or organization is welcome to apply for
assistance.
