#FaithServes November
By Maddie Wiley, FaithCounts.com Contributor
The year is almost over and the holidays are fast approaching. Find some time this month to do some service, big or small, and make a difference in someone’s life. Whether it’s service for a family member, a military member or a random person—you have the opportunity to do some good and create a good example of service.
Let us know what service you see and do by tagging #FaithServes in posts and pictures! We hope to inspire everyone to serve this month and your posts will help.
#FaithServes is a social media event to inspire people to serve their friends, families and communities. Pick service ideas from the following list to complete throughout the month of November and you can also follow @MyFaithCounts on Twitter for daily service reminders!
