Conversational English Club- Winter Semester
It’s hard to believe that only one year ago Serve Burlington launched the Conversational English Club in Burlington’s Riverside Apartment community. We’re revving up for our fourth “semester” beginning next Tuesday, January 24, and I’m excited to see what God has in store. (Be sure to check out the video at the end of this post.) Continue reading
Big Prayers for 2012
Below are some of the big prayers our little church is praying for 2012. Please join us as we…
ask and keep asking,
seek and keep seeking,

Boys & Girls Groups Christmas Party
Over the last year, I’ve heard a common refrain from Phil Corriveau and Steph Hobold, who respectively lead Boys and Girls groups focused on mentoring tweens and teens primarily from Burlington’s Old North End and Winooski: we want to engage their families with the gospel. Continue reading
Refugee Move-In Crew
Serve Burlington’s “On Call” Refugee Move-In Crew is now in action. Last Wednesday we moved a family of seven in. Later today we’re moving in a family of eight. With over 300 refugees from Nepal alone expected in 2012, we’ll have plenty more opportunities to serve our brand new neighbors.
