National Volunteer Week
Avondale Presbyterian Church is blessed with a wonderful church family and a beautiful church campus. We have so much to be grateful for. And we are grateful for all the people who share their time, talents and gifts to make mission possible. Visit our social media sites this week, Monday to Sunday, to view our daily #NVW celebration of Avondale steward volunteers. Please know that this list is farrrr from complete in recognizing all who make Avondale a vibrant, meaningful church community.
National Volunteer Week
“We are living in a moment that calls for hope and light and love. Hope for our futures, light to see our way forward, and love for one another. Volunteers provide all three. Service — the act of looking out for one another — is part of who we are as a Nation. Our commitment to service reflects our understanding that we can best meet our challenges when we join together. This week, we recognize the enduring contributions of our Nation’s volunteers and encourage more Americans to join their ranks."
