DC Schools Project Update
August 26, 2010 by jcahan
I want to give you a quick update on the DC Schools Project, one of our annual church-wide outreach events that took place last Saturday.
For many public schools in the DC area, today was the first day of classes. But before this weekend, many of the more than 150 public school facilities in DC were not prepared for students to arrive today. So on Saturday morning, over 500 McLean Bible Church and Frontline volunteers from all of our campuses served at more than 40 of the most in-need public schools all across Washington, DC. Some planted flowers and trees, while others painted doors and walls, and still others helped teachers organize books and classrooms.
But the DC Schools Project was about more than improving school conditions. It was all about impacting our city with the gospel message of Jesus Christ. McLean Bible Church and Frontline volunteers came prepared to preach the gospel to the community members serving alongside them. Plus, they handed out hundreds of invitation cards that list all of our services at each of our campuses.
We want to thank everyone from our multiple campuses and ministry areas for getting serving, and for helping to make this year’s DC Schools Project a success. This event is not only a great way for our church to impact DC, but also to engage and equip each person in our church family to live out the gospel every day!
So if you weren’t able to make it, that’s okay. Get involved in one of our dozens of serving opportunities here at Frontline or in the community!
