300+ Morristown Residents Serve the Community Through Local Outreaches
Liquid Church, a Christian church, which holds worship services at the Hyatt Morristown on Sundays, announced that it will participate in a grassroots movement of New Jersey churches coming together to love & serve the state named, Jesus Loves Jersey.
Churches involved have two things in common: a) They love Jesus. (Christ-centered); b) They love New Jersey! (compassion for NJ state). This is a chance for churches in New Jersey to unite under a common banner of compassionate service that celebrates the collective impact church communities are having together.
From October 12th - October 19th 300+ volunteers will serve Morris County through the following projects:
- Morristown Neighborhood House : Upgrade 5 classrooms (painting, refinishing tables, organizing toys, painting hallways, upgrading bathrooms & installing cork/dry erase boards)
- Eric Johnson House : Cook and serve dinner to residents
- Homeless Solutions : Cook and serve dinner to residents
- Family Promise : Complete makeover of outside leisure area, reduce clutter and organize garage, basement & storage systems for residents
- New Bridge Half Marathon : Assist in run logistics, hand out water & food, and distribute medals
- Market Street Mission : Fix structure issues and paint
Over 50 different community service events and activities in 9 of 21 counties are being planned the week of October 12-19, 2013. The campaign will accommodate over 3,000 volunteers with 10,000+ volunteer-hours of community service time.
