SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2026
Instead of our regular Sunday services, we will serve our city. Serve Day's vision is for us, the local church, to go into our communities and love our neighbors. We hope that through practical projects and acts of service, people's hearts will be opened to the love of Jesus.
Join us at the Serve Day rally as we gather, pray, and make a difference in our city.
Date: Sunday, October 4, 2026
Time: 8a-12p
Rally Location: Helotes Fairgrounds
12210 Leslie Rd, Helotes, TX 78023
