9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Deadline for Registration: May 22, 2009

On Tuesday, June 9, the people of The United Methodist Church will open the doors of the annual conference to serve the Columbus community. Opportunities range from knitting prayer shawls to preparing casseroles for the Ronald McDonald House, from participating in blood drive to painting walls at a women's shelter, from sorting items at a clothing bank to writing letters to soldiers in hospitals, from baking cookies for local EMT workers to light yard work at a home for troubled teens. South Georgia laity and clergy will scatter across the Columbus community to be witnesses of our faith in Jesus Christ by serving through word and deed. It is our prayer and intention that we make a positive impact on the community as we live out God's vision that every soul and circumstance be redeemed. The Columbus Local Arrangements Committee is coordinating this morning of service.

You will be able to select your 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices on the registration form. You will be assigned your first choice if possible. Some projects are limited in size by space. A local project host will contact you with information about the day (attire, location, etc.) once they have assigned all projects.
