SERVE DAY IS SUNDAY, AUGUST 10

Online registration is closed as of 5 p.m. on 8/9.

Come to NEC the morning of 8/10 at 10 a.m. if you’d like to participate.

One Sunday a year, we do something a little different—we cut the service short so we can go serve.

Join us for Serve Day 2025, where our whole church rolls up their sleeves and heads into the community to love our neighbors in tangible ways. Whether it's painting, landscaping, cleaning, or helping our local partners, there's a place for everyone—kids, teens, adults—to make a difference.

Come dressed to serve, bring a water bottle, and be ready to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Let’s show up, step out, and spread kindness all over our town.

Sign up today and choose your project.

Can’t make it? We need donations of cases of water and we need to borrow 15 coolers. Click on the Register Now and you can offer to help!
