That I think the Reno Aids Walk was probably our best-attended service project to date. Between the volunteers who showed up and the extra few that did the walk, I'm pretty sure we passed 20. In a church of, roughly, 60 that means we had 33% of the church show up at once to serve the community.
We didn't get named as a sponsor (because those are the companies who gave $5,000 to get their name and logo plastered about), but we got to represent Christ with what we have - hands to tie balloons and hand out water, feet to move things around, smiles to brighten the day of the walkers, and a practical demonstration that the love of Christ extends beyond the church walls.

For what it's worth, our previous blood drive and the totally free car wash had about the same level of participation. Still it was encouraging to me to see everyone there. And there were a couple of first timers there.
