C.A.K.E. Christian Acts of Kindness Everywhere
Throughout the year, the youth have opportunities to serve in different places as part of our grateful worship to a God who loves people so much more than we can imagine. Sometimes this means doing jobs that might sound kind of boring (like raking leaves or serving food) but serving together is a lot of fun, and it delights our God!
