Minneapolis, MN \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>North Central University students took a break from classes on NCU\u2019s annual Community Outreach Day, Monday, Oct. 5, mobilized and motivated to serve churches and ministry organizations throughout the Twin Cities with their help and hard labor.<\/p>\n

Crews of a dozen or more workers each dispersed to nearly 30 service sites to offer their skills in everything from harvesting garden produce, to cleaning and painting, to serving meals and moving furniture.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Christ-followers it is important for us to love and serve our neighbors,\u201d says event organizer Keri Agrimson, assistant dean for community partnerships and global service. \u201cIt is our hope that students see what it means to be the hands and feet of Jesus in a very practical way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some 350 participants gathered after chapel to fortify themselves with specially prepared sack lunches before being deployed to prearranged sites across the Twin Cities metro area.<\/p>\n

\u201cOrganizations feel very blessed and encouraged by students who come to serve and ask nothing in return,\u201d Agrimson observes. \u201cWe get to know and better understand our neighbors, and they get to know who we are as well!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
