Group Ideas

Trying to think of a good service project to do with your group?  Sure you are, because that's part of our DNA!
Here's a few ideas:

Care Packages for Soldiers:
"Adopt" a soldier serving in Afghanistan or elsewhere.  We've got the names of several, or maybe there is a connection within your own group.  Cost to mail a large, flat rate box (no weight limit) is $12.95 to APO addresses.  The boxes are free, and can be picked up at the post office or ordered online.   Soldiers can also receive cards and notes, with standard postal rates (no overseas rates).  They love cookies, chips and snack foods.  You could also include a small book or even a Ripple Effect Prayer Journal.  This is a great way to support out troops and share the Love of Jesus!

Chick-fil-A Stampede 5K:
We have been able to partner with our local Chick-fil-A in a number of activities.  They have been a huge support of some of our ministry events.  Let's return the love by serving them.
They will be having their inaugural Chick-fil-A Stampede 5K coming up on Saturday, September 24. They are needing volunteers to help with many aspects of the race, or you could even run in it! This event will support the Owasso Community Resources Inc., the YMCA, and M.A.D.D.
Each volunteer will receive a race day T-shirt and Chick-fil-A coupons.
Here is a link where you and your group can sign-up.

Meet Fall Needs:
With fall approaching there will always be those who need help with fall projects.  Raking leaves and winterizing the home can be too much for some to be able to accomplish.  Look for those in your neighborhood or find a "senior saint" in our own church family that has a need, and as a group go share the love of Jesus!

If you've got other ideas, pass them on!

Have a great fall leaders!
