Change the world, one kindness at a time
You can start small or start big. Whether this is the 50th sack lunch you will have packed or the first, I guarantee you will receive far more than you give in this weekend.

Change The World Prayer Vigil
Join prayer vigil for Change The World, May 19-20.
Join our prayer team.
Prayer connects you with God and with others who care. When a person needs a 'faith lift', they say a small prayer. That person may also ask a friend to pray for their situation or need, too. This Change the World prayer team works the same way -- it multiplies the power of prayers.
Praying is as important as being there.
