thanks for the comments. I have to say...maybe because I am close to it...I don't see the confusion. But, that is ok; it is not for ME to understand, it is for others...and if other people don't understand, well, there is something wrong!

Good ideas, though...and thanks!

from the Mosaic church website:

What if Everyone Served?Share

What If Everyone' Campaign
“What if everyone” is an outreach campaign which will be held on September 12th. It is an opportunity for people to partner with other churches and organizations to serve our local community. We will have numerous projects which will consist of everything from individual needs, such as a single mom in need of home repairs, to gas-giveaway, blood drive, work projects at Jackson Park Ministries, Habitat for Humanity, etc. Our desire with this campaign is to imagine “What if everyone” served their community in practical ways and our goal is to create opportunities for people to do that. To volunteer, click here or email Outreach@mosaicchurch.tv

YES! That is what should be on the website.

Thanks for sharing the info. John is right - you can help spread the word by helping us understand what the campaign's mission and goals are.

It's a very good idea - but the same thing that Hands on Charlotte does every year, and throughout the year. I don't want to be a naysayer, but through volunteering in Charlotte, I've seen so many agencies and groups form, only to duplicate what another group wants to do, or is already doing. Hands on Charlotte is large, well-organized, and well-known; why not join efforts with them?

They started with a one-day project (http://www.handsoncharlotte.org/AboutUs/index.php/hocday.html - broken link), and have grown to organize volunteer opportunities year-round. It seems like what your group is planning would mesh well with what they do.

Yes, his name was Jesus Christ. But, I don't think that was mentioned in the video????
