We are celebrating the incredible people of the Milestone family, who willingly gave up time on a Saturday morning to be the hands and feet of Jesus on Serve Day. Over 6,000 volunteers in red shirts completed over 400 projects, impacting thousands of lives. And every year keeps getting better and better. Here are some exciting projects that took place this year at Serve Day. GROCERY GIVEAWAYS Grocery Giveaways are when our church sets up in local Title 1 schools…
The beginning of the year is often associated with planning, resolutions, and reflection. We dream big and love the idea of starting the year off fresh. Most of us probably ask ourselves a question similar to: “What am I hoping will happen this year?” Maybe it’s that this would be the year of breakthrough in a situation you’ve been praying about, whether in your own life or a loved one’s life.

Thanksgiving has come and gone, and Christmas is right around the corner.

When life’s circumstances overwhelm us and seem impossible to overcome it can be easy to worry about how we will have everything we need. Check out how God used Abigail’s small group to provide for someone in need. For our small group service project, we decided to pick a restaurant and pray that God would show us someone to bless. We collected money from the group to give to someone with a card that had scriptures and encouragement in. We…
Here at Milestone we believe that you don’t have to wait to be great. Empowering the next generation to be all that God has called them to be is one of our greatest passions. The teachers in our community are the people who make this happen on a daily basis. Take a look at how your generosity has impacted the teachers in our community.
