Working together to serve community

Serve Together began 10 years ago as “Rise Up” at First Baptist Church in Livingston. It is a day dedicated to serving the local community. It has now grown to a joint effort of several churches and a way for volunteers to be the hands and feet of Jesus, to show the community they are here to serve. Volunteers from several local churches took part in 38 different projects Sunday, including construction of four handicap ramps, projects for F.A.I.T.H. Military Support Group, yard work for seniors in the area and the making of blankets for nursing homes and hospitals. PHOTOS BY BRIAN BESCH
