“Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction…” (James 1:27) The Christian faith is most authentic, most pure, when it is looking after and caring for the vulnerable and marginalized of our city. It’s coming alongside those who have no “voice” and advocating on their behalf.
Our Service Squad looks for opportunities to come alongside the elderly, single
moms and others on the margins and provide home repair and improvement
services, like floor repairs, repainting rooms, and building handicap ramps to name a few. We’ve even moved household belongings following an eviction.
At the core of the Service Squad is the work of neighbors lending a hand to
neighbors. It is building unity out of our diversity as we build up our community. It is
pursuing unity one hand at a time.
If you’d like to volunteer with our Service Squad, please reach out to Andy
Flowers at (434) 660-1186.
