For many years we've been working with Christ Church and what a blessing it is. ❤️ We love partnering with Christ Church Otsego for their Summer Youth Projects!!

📅 For Wednesday's in June and July, we are coordinating multiple projects for our elderly clients to be blessed to have these amazing students and their leaders help with yardwork, cleaning or another needed project. How awesome is this?!? 🎉. Great job!!! 🎉

Way to go CCO Super Summer Serve Groups & leadership! Spreading the love of Jesus to our community! LOVE IT!
