Pastor Mark will entertain more ideas at any time. We’ll give credit for lots of different things. Again, Pastor Mark will keep track of the number completed.
One credit is earned for each service event. If the event lasts for more than half a day, two credits are earned. No more than two credits can be earned doing the same type of service event. So you will be unable to earn 10 credits doing the same thing 10 times… we want you to experience serving God in many different ways!
