ROOTED SERVE EXPERIENCES
The Rooted serve experience is an opportunity for your group to put into action what you’ve learned in weeks six and seven by discovering and using your spiritual gifts. Whether you create your own “See a Need, Meet a Need” project or participate in an organized opportunity, you'll have the chance to be the hands and feet of Jesus in your community.

SEE A NEED MEET A NEED
A “See a Need, Meet a Need” service project is a key part of the Rooted experience. Your group will identify a need in your local community and take action to meet it in a meaningful way. These projects are initiated and led by your group, allowing you to uniquely impact others with the love of Christ.
To get started, check out the “See a Need, Meet a Need” resource. Once your project is planned and organized, be sure to register below so we can support you and celebrate how God is working through your group.
Registration for serving experiences opens on May 5, and spots are limited.
