The Big Day of Serving, Saturday, May 18, 2013

Greene Memorial United Methodist Church served as the community coordinating site for The Big Day of Serving, a one-day youth mission event, which took place on Saturday, May 18, from 7am to 4pm.  We teamed with the City of Roanoke and other stakeholders to help revitalize the West End area of the City on projects such as painting, minor home repairs, landscaping, cleaning vacant lots and more. Youth groups from the region met at Greene Memorial for opening devotions and a brief orientation. Afterwards, they took packed lunches with them to their work projects and worked through the morning and afternoon. At the close of the day, the teams returned to the church for a closing celebration and party.
