Churches all over the world are joining together for a “Servalution” – a 7-day movement from April 3-9 that is geared towards serving local communities.

 Free Chapel in Bee Cave is joining up to lend its spirit and a hand.
“We got involved with ‘Servalution’ to serve and tangibly express love for the South Lake Travis community,” said Jeremy Self, local pastor of Free Chapel in Bee Cave. “At the end of the day, we want to help people.”
Healing Place Church launched “Servalution” – a revolution through serving-which has evolved over the last 16 years while serving the Baton Rouge community in south Louisiana with events like free water give-a-ways, disaster relief efforts, and homeless outreaches. Now, with over 140 churches on board, representing almost 300,000 people, the culture of serving has spread from state to state, and the week of “Servalution” has become a focus for many.
From California to New York, from Peru to New Zealand, churches around the globe are joining 7 days of “Servalution” in order to impact their local communities through small deeds done with great love, which comes at a time in the economy when people are in need of hope and encouragement.
“We believe in serving the local community; it’s our DNA,” said Dino Rizzo, Lead Pastor of Healing Place Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. “We are actively pursuing the hurting, the forgotten, and the poor to show them a God who is passionately in love with them.”
Churches are encouraged to participate in free giveaways, adopt-a-block projects, homeless outreaches and more, and can go to the Web site for more unique ideas and/or tools to promote “Servalution” in their own area. For information go to www.servolution.org/7days.
