CareFest

Spring Carefest is a day when Sherwood Oaks folks head out into to community to serve at various locations with the idea of getting out in the world to help others, all to bringing glory to our Lord. Bring your family, your friends, your small group - everyone - and serve Bloomington with no strings attached! Carefest is the perfect time to put Yes2Love into action!
