I WANT TO KNOW MORE…MAYBE?

Have you ever felt that way? You’re reading an article or clicking on a website and realize they want you to commit to something and you were only just curious!

I sometimes think I’m being pulled down a rabbit hole I never intended to enter. I just wanted information.

At Love In the Name of Christ, we understand! So we offer an absolutely free, no arm twisting, no sign-up tonight or else meeting with tons of information to fully inform and educate you on what we do in our Life Skills Program.

You may have heard from friends, co-workers or family members all about our program. However, just like the old game of telephone, the information often changes with each telling. So why not hear the information directly from the source!

Comments we often hear at these informational meetings are “I had no idea that was part of the program.” Or “I thought you had to be a financial wizard to be involved!” – NOPE! Not even close to true.

So come and learn more about how Life Skills works and the various roles you could play. Our next informational meeting (remember totally no commitment required!) will be on Thursday, November 1st, 2018 from 6-8:30 pm at Hillcrest CRC in Hudsonville. You will be offered coffee, an incredible cookie and great discussion on our ministry.

It’s quite incredible that all of this happens almost every day, and every week, by diligent volunteers who embody our diligence core value.

Not only is there a large variety of “things to do,” but also a deep investment by those who say yes to volunteering. Most volunteers serve weekly, some even daily, spending hundreds of hours donating the gift many of us hold most tightly – the gift of time.

In 2023 alone, 420 volunteers invested 49,120 hours – a value of $1.5 million! 

Our core mission is to love, serve and connect with dignity as we follow Jesus Christ closely, watching how he transforms lives – and we often highlight the transformation happening through our Life Skills Program.

What we often forget to highlight is that God is also transforming lives through volunteerism, giving community members purpose, friendship, creativity, and belonging. Here at Love, we believe everyone has something to offer.

If you are a volunteer, at Love Your Neighbor or elsewhere, thank you for this priceless gift!
