The purpose of the Adopt-A-Block (AAB) ministry is to show the love of Jesus to people by building relationships with them where they live. The concept is simple :: serving and loving people into the kingdom of God.
When :: 9:45am each 2nd and 4th Saturday of every month!
Where :: Southside Mission (11217 S. Laramie St.)
What :: We’ll be meeting with other churches that partner with the South Side Mission for Adopt-a-Block. All of the volunteers join in a short devotional, prayer and general Adopt-a-Block announcements from the South Side Mission team.
Our Richwoods Christian Church team then meets at Maranatha Fellowship to pray and head out to the blocks to serve the neighborhood together.
