Car Care Workshop
We are partnering with the Bread of Life ministry & CedarBrook for a Car Care Workshop! This serving opportunity is led by a team of West Park individuals who are knowledgeable about cars and able to show others how to check the basics for car care. If you have a general knowledge of car care, you are perfect for this serving opportunity. Or, if you just love to serve, you are needed also! There is opportunity to relationally interact with individuals and share the gospel. This serving opportunity is best for adults and children over 12.
When: June 10, 2023
Time: 9am-12pm at West Park
Contact: Connections & Community
Deadline to sign-up is June 7, 2023
