Serving Opportunity for Groups

On Wednesday October 5th from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Prairie Lakes Church will be celebrating a Fall Festival in place of our usual Wednesday night kids programing. 

There is a need for groups to pitch in and help with First Impressions, mascots, food, set up, tear down, manning the jump houses & all sorts of other details. 

Groups can volunteer to help in 30 minute or 1 hour chunks.  

This would be a great way for your group to serve together and influence those around you.
