<<<SERVE Project Adjustment for TOMORROW>>>

I just talked with Pastor Charles about Angel Food tomorrow…. Turns out the date was changed to next weekend by the Distribution Center..

SO….

Thank goodness we have friends at the Round Rock Serving Center!  They need our help!  Please meet us at Celebration at 8:00am!!

We have items to load up to donate to the Serving Center and then we will head down as a group to the location at 1099 E Main Street (Round Rock).  At the Serving Center, we will be assisting with Facility needs.

I apologize about the change.. I will be there and I look forward to seeing you!  Please send an email to serve@celebrationchurchtx.com with any questions and to let us know that you will be joining us at 8am at the Church.  We will SERVE at the Round Rock Serving Center until 11:30am.

It’s always great to bless our neighbors!
Last Saturdays SERVE Saturday at Ride on Center for KiDs was a great opportunity.  Special thanks to Jake French for setting up a day of pulling weeds and spreading mulch (how many times have you ever said that??)!  This is a worthy cause and Celebration has supported the ROCK for years.  We look forward to making it a bi-monthly stop for our serve teams.

FRONTIER DAYS at OLD SETTLERS PARK on the 4th

Another group from Celebration Serves headed to Old Settlers Park behind the Dell Diamond early Monday morning!  Our Team was set up and ready to go at 11:00 am when guests for the Festivities began to arrive!  Our tent served as the “Celebration Cooling Station” and was a welcome site for all that came into the park.  FREE Water and Lemonade were distributed to passers by along with a Celebration Serves Sticker for the kids and flyers for the parents!  Big Thanks to City of Round Rock Police and Parks and Rec employees that hooked us up with a prime spot at the entrance!  Many of our Team took cold water and flyers and spent hours walking through the crowds, mingling with our community and sharing God’s love with a glass of cold water.  This is an Outreach that will continue for years to come!  THANK YOU ROUND ROCK!
