Acts of Kindness
With our Centennial of our church coming up in October of 2026, one of our fun activitieswill be 100+ Acts of Kindness! Let’s try to get more. There will be a jar and wooden kindness coins. Once you have completed an Act of Kindness/Random Act of Kindness, add the wooden coin to the Kindness jar! Don’t stop there. Keep it going, as it is a good feeling to ourself as well as the receiver. We will start our kindness journey on Sunday, April 19th. If we need more than 100, that’s great, we will start again. Please join us in our kindness acts.
