Be the Church Service week

For items completed at home, you can drop off your service gifts in the tubs outside Village on Mission’s (VOM) south entrance or Village on Antioch’s (VOA) main entrance during the week of Oct. 24 -31. Please deliver your service gifts by 6 p.m. on Oct. 31 at the latest.

Below are instructions for each of the service projects.
