Wilshire Serves Week—March 15 – 21.
In place of our typical Spring Break mission trip, we are encouraging everyone to find ways this week to show love to each other and to our community. Our activities may still be a bit limited, but Wilshire’s love is abundant. Below are some ideas on how to be intentional with the week ahead. Challenge your family and friends to participate with you! Share your daily act of service and your photos with us by tagging us on social media with #wbcserves or email them to Abbey Adcox at aadcox@wilshirebc.org.
