For each flyer that is turned in with a check, Denny’s will donate 15% of the check. You must have the flyer with you to participate.
CHOOSING TO SERVE
One of the best ways to grow in your faith is to get involved. Here are just a few ways you can get plugged in! Pray for those who are sick and hurting & writing cards for them. Take food or provide other assistance to the sick and those who are grieving. Go out of your way to welcome guests in our worship gatherings. Volunteer to teach or assist in our Children’s Ministry. No experience needed, just a willingness to serve! Visit our shut-ins to encourage them. Come up with creative ways we can fulfill our mission to love God and to love people. Be active in telling the good news and loving people in practical & intentional ways.
