  What is the Great Day of Service?
   Central's Great Day of Service is Saturday morning, March 21, a time when Central's members are asked to give up their Saturday morning for Lent and give back to their community to those who are hungry, homeless, lonely, and in need of help.
   There are 15  work sites including 6 agency sites: TOTAL Ministries, Spartanburg Soup Kitchen, Bethlehem Center, Greater Spartanburg Ministries, The Haven, SPACE, and Miracle Hill; 6 Northside homes in need of repair; and 2 projects at the church--packing back packs for the homeless, and working with Agape Hospice filling bags and pillows. There is something for everyone including the children.
   Mark your calendars, and plan to be a part of this mission service opportunity in our "own back yard." Breakfast and lunch is provided at the church. For more information, contact Patsy Simmons.
