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…
Milestone Family, you did it again! Many of you gave up your time and talents to make a difference in the lives of people this Serve Day. It’s always amazing seeing you go out into the community with red shirts, ready to serve however you can. It makes me so proud to be your pastor. Part of the reason we do events like Serve Day comes from a vision I had years ago to be a church where if we…
When you hear the word “generosity” you may automatically think of money. But generosity is so much more than that. Generosity is freely giving to someone else what God has given you— whether it be talents, time, or resources—without expecting anything in return.

But, serving others isn’t something that is limited to one day a year. It’s something that Christians are called to live out daily. Lou Ann decided that instead of participating just on Serve Day she would serve for an entire week. Take a look at her story. “Being a senior…
“Your gift doesn’t matter.” Maybe you have believed this lie. The truth is that we all have something valuable to add. Not only does your hard work bless the one you serve, but you experience greater connection and purpose in the process. Just ask TD and Shelley .

Memorial Day is a time to honor those who gave everything for our freedom. As we remember those who have paid the ultimate price this weekend, we also take a moment to honor those veterans who have given so much to serve our country. A few weeks ago, more than 2,300 volunteers in red shirts headed out into our community to serve in over 100 projects for Milestone’s annual Serve Day. One of our teams had the opportunity to work…
