Serve Day is coming on Saturday, March 27! We will be blessing our community with practical acts of service in dozens of locations around Orange County: cleaning up beaches, feeding the hungry, preparing hygiene kits for disaster relief, and many more. Since it’s inception, the goal of Serve Day has been to mobilize our church family in order to reach out together to our neighbors around us, showing people that God truly loves them and our community.
We have an exciting opportunity to invite our neighbors to join us on Serve Day as we partner with Disney’s “Give a Day, Get a Disney Day” program. Disney has graciously offered us the opportunity to get 1,500 free Disneyland passes in exchange for participating in a qualified service project. How much fun is that? And, more importantly, hundreds of our neighbors who may have never stepped on our church property will be serving alongside us for the first time because of this unique opportunity.
This offer is likely to close by the end of the week so we’re encouraging you to sign up at the Disney site TODAY if you want to be eligible for a Disney pass for participating in St. Andrew’s upcoming Serve Day. We want you to invite your neighbors to sign up, too. A detailed list of project descriptions, times and other information will be posted on our Web site next week, but you don’t need to specify the exact project before signing up with Disney. Just go to the Disney site, find our project “Serve Day – March 27” and follow the instructions. First, please read this important information below regarding age requirements and restrictions:
1. You must sign up online through Disney’s website.
2. Disney requires that you must be 18 years old or older to sign up.
3. Disney requires that kids must be at least 6 years old in order to be eligible for the free Disney pass. Sorry, but no free passes for those under 6.
4. Disney requires that kids under 18 MUST be accompanied by their parent or guardian while volunteering, which means the parent must sign up a child as part of their family in order to serve and that the parent must be present with their children while serving. Sorry, but even teenagers must be with a parent or legal guardian. If you’re under 18 and want to serve, you need your parent to sign you up as a family.
5. Of course, service must be verified by St. Andrew’s after March 27, and passes aren’t guaranteed until verified. Disney has several other important eligibility requirements that you should read about by clicking here.
Our goal on Serve Day has always been to reach out to our community through acts of practical service that reveal the God we love and worship. Now we have the opportunity to serve alongside our neighbors, getting to know them better and demonstrating God’s love as we serve together and partner with Disney. Imagine all those who have never been to our worship services before but want to join us in serving the community together on Saturday, March 27. Let’s pray that God’s love will be seen not only in how we serve our community, but how we love the people we serve alongside. Sign up today!
