Serve Day Questions

What is Serve Day?

Serve Day is our annual outreach event that closes out our Summer Group Semester. It is an amazing opportunity to serve others and grow personally. Together we’ll go out into our communities and show the love of Christ in real and tangible ways. We encourage every Group to choose a serve project of their own and be the hands and feet of Jesus on Serve Day.

I want to participate in Serve Day but I am not in a small group. How do I find a small group?

Most groups are open to new members throughout the semester. Our Groups Directory can help you find a group that fits your interest, location and time preference. Learn more about Groups at www.cedarcreek.tv/groups

You can check out Join a Project on this page starting July 9/10 weekend where you will find a list of Groups that have serve projects with room for others to help. Simply find one you like and contact the leader listed. We’ll also have Campus Projects to choose from if there isn’t a Group project that sparks your interest.

What should I bring on Serve Day?

Plan on bringing any personal items you may need, like your Serve Day T-shirt, sunscreen, drinking water, tennis shoes, a hat, etc., along with any items pertaining to your serve project such as rakes, gloves, lawnmowers, tarps, work tools, etc. For serve opportunities requiring physical labor, work clothes are a good idea. We recommend not wearing jewelry. Also check with your leader for what you may need.

What if it rains?

The leader of your project will be in touch with you on any inclement weather plans. You can also check back to this page for any overall updates on the day.

Who can I contact with questions or concerns?

3 Easy Steps for Your Project

PROJECT STEP ONE: Choose a Project

Discuss the following questions with your group to help decide on a Serve Day project.

  • Who in your neighborhood has a need?
  • What business or organization within your sphere of influence could use a blessing?
  • What are some areas you’re passionate about?
  • What serve opportunities best suit our group’s skills and abilities? (Prayer, worship, teaching, physical labor, etc.)
  • What resources do we have access to?
  • Once your group has discussed the options, decide together on the best project for your group.
PROJECT STEP TWO: Plan Your Project
  • Familiarize your group with the individual or organization you’re serving.
  • Determine if your project has the capacity for others to serve with your group on Serve Day, and if so, make your group “public” when registering.
  • Register your project. (Registration instructions will be emailed to you by your group coach.)
  • Make a list of preparations and assign responsibilities according to each group member’s skills and gifts.
  • Make sure all group members have access to project details.
PROJECT STEP THREE: SERVE
  • Meet your group the morning of Serve Day ready to serve!
  • Pray first.
  • Love people.
  • Have fun!
  • Celebrate with others at your campus!
