Serving together and gathering together are both vital parts of community at Aley.
To best live into this, we often need to know who is coming so we can ensure we're well prepared!
Below you'll find sign-up links and ways to get involved.
MISSION & OUTREACH OPPORTUNITIES
Serving others is a way to actively show the love and grace of God and is essential to living out our call to "Love People."
"But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of everyone else. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” - Mark 10:43-45 (NLT)
