serve day

What Is Serve Day?

This is Atmosphere’s semi-annual event where we serve and love our surrounding cities through practical acts of kindness. We are talking 'Jesus-style no-strings-attached kind of love.' These simple acts of service will open hearts to Jesus and give us opportunity to pray for hurting people in our community.

Our Serve Day has been RESCHEDULED DUE TO WEATHER!

**NEW SERVE DAY IS SATURDAY, MAY 11 **

**You will need to re-register for all projects.
