The H.U.B.

37 Jesus replied, “‘You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’

38 This is the first and greatest commandment.

39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

Matthew 22:37-39

    • Employs large numbers of volunteers, all ages, requires little training/expertise, low level of commitment (as little as a couple of hours) and high level of motivation/capacity for giving money.

    • On-going commitment at least monthly during school year.
    • Examples include reading buddies, backpacks of blessings, class parents (to assist teachers during the week in whatever needs they have).
