On Sunday, May 2nd, Reality members are invited to participate in a "Be The Church Sunday." We will be going out into the community as "the hands and feet of Jesus" to serve some of our community agencies during our normal church service times.

This will entail mostly outdoor work. (Rain date is May 16th.)

There will still be a regular service for those not participating.

To sign up, fill out the form below!

We are very excited to kick off the first of what we hope will be many events where we are going out into our community!

Please see below for a description of each organization and how we will be serving them during “Be the Church Sunday.” After signing up, we will be in contact with more information and to get you set up with your team leader. All projects will take place Sunday morning on May 2nd around 9am and most projects will take 2-3 hours. Volunteers must be at least 12 years of age.
