Do Something – Eau Claire Community Serve Day

đź“… Sunday, August 10, 2025
📍 Village of Eau Claire

On Sunday, August 10, all four First Church campuses will unite as one church family to Do Something—serving together to make a tangible impact in the Village of Eau Claire. Whether you’re 8 or 88, there’s a place for everyone to jump in and lend a hand!

This all-church serve day is about more than just projects—it’s about being the hands and feet of Jesus, loving our neighbors through action, and showing up where it matters most. Together, we’ll tackle a wide range of community projects.

From high-impact outdoor efforts to gentle, behind-the-scenes kindnesses, there’s something for everyone to do—because when we serve together, we reflect the heart of God in powerful ways.

Mark your calendar, invite your friends and family, and let’s show Eau Claire what it means to restore God’s ideal—one act of service at a time.

Let’s Do Something… together.

REGISTRATION COMING SOON!!
