OUR DESIRE
Over the last several years, a growing desire in the hearts of Christians in Norfolk has been to come together with other Believers to do something intentional and meaningful as the larger Body of Christ. To Norfolk With Love is designed to do just that. TNWL is an annual community-wide day of service where followers of Jesus from every denomination and creed join together to serve side-by-side to demonstrate the love of Christ to our city of Norfolk, Nebraska. Our dream is that as we momentarily lay down some of our differences and take up service projects around the city, we can show our community and the world a better way. Will you join us?A new command I give you: Love one another.
As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
[John 13.34-35 NIV]
THE DETAILS
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2022
Saturday, September 10th, 2022, will be our fifth annual To Norfolk With Love event. Each year we organize projects all around Norfolk which benefit our city, non-profit organizations, and individuals in need in our community. No matter the volunteer’s ability level, we have a project they can volunteer to participate in. Event Day Registration and Check-In begin at 8:00 am, a Send-Off Prayer and Celebration at 8:40, and Project Kick-Off at 9:00. A free shirt is guaranteed for everyone who registers by September 1st.
We are pumped FOR 2022
FREE CHILDCARE!!!
You saw that right. To Norfolk With Love has partnered with a great local child care center to offer you and your family FREE child care during the event. Visit Northern Hills Child Care Center to learn more about them. Unless you’ve got a rockstar of a 5-year-old, a three-hour service project isn’t too high on their priority list. We get it! For that reason, we have created a great partnership with NHCCC to ensure that care is available for all kids, from infants to children approximately 8 years old. Pre-registration is REQUIRED to secure your kiddos a spot. Age-appropriate care will be provided by Northern Hills trained and caring staff, and you can be assured that they will be in good hands. Drop-off time is 7:45-8:30 and pick-up time is noon-12:30.
Again, registration is required, so please register your child(ren) when you register for the event. Registration is open!
THE AFTER PARTY!!!
Who doesn’t love a good party?!?! We have been excited, thrilled, and overjoyed at the end of each of the previous TNWL events, yet we’ve also felt something was missing. We wanted to hear what work was accomplished; we wanted to hear people share stories; we wanted to be able to celebrate the wonderful ways God’s love was shown to our community. And this year we will again! The “After Party” will be from approximately 12-1 and will offer a chance to get hydrated, eat some great food, and hear and share stories over the table. And it’s FREE. It will be a great day to serve and celebrate together!
