Unleash Compassion Night
November 24th, 5:30-7:00pm
All adults, teens, and kids accompanied by their families are invited to join us for our very first Unleash Compassion Night hosted by our Mission Team on November 24th from 5:30-7:00pm! We’ll gather around tables for a meal provided by Olive Garden to start off the night. With our bellies full, we will learn about our 5 Mission Partners at First B: Glory House, Arise Ukraine, Lowell Elementary, Camp Judson, and the University of Sioux Falls. The night will consist of SERVICE and PRAYER. You’ll engage with practical ways to serve these partners at the event AND as you go home. We’ll end the event by inviting participants to literally fill the space with prayer as we write on the “prayer walls”. You’ll leave the event with “take home prayer cards” so you can continue to pray through the prompts provided! We look forward to having you join us as we unleash compassion together! No childcare will be provided.
The entry “fee” for this event is non-perishable food items that will be donated to the USF Cougar Cupboard
