What happens after I register?

Once all the congregation has been registered (after March 16th), you will receive a volunteer letter in the mail letting you know what project you are assigned to, who your project captain is, and what items you may need to bring with you.

Can my Sunday School class sign up together?

We cannot reserve specific projects for Sunday School Classes. The purpose of Great Day of Service is to be able to meet people and for individuals and families to serve in a ministry area they feel personally called to.

Can children/youth participate?

Yes! Children should participate with their family or another family. Youth can participate separately or with their family. Please note age restrictions for each project on the registration from.

Why must I list my first, second and third choice on the sign up card?

We will do our best to assign everyone to their first choice, but as needs are met and project teams fill, we may need to assign you to a second or third choice. The best way to serve in your first choice is to sign up early!
