National Day of Service
President-elect Barack Obama has asked us all to volunteer in our communities as a National Day of Service on Monday, Jan. 19, Martin Luther King's birthday:
Because loving your country shouldn't just mean watching fireworks on the 4th of July; loving your country must mean accepting your responsibility to do your part to change it. And if you do stand up, I promise you that your life will be richer, and our country will be stronger.
We need your service, right now, in this moment - our moment - in history. I'm not going to tell you what your role should be; that's for you to discover. But I am going to ask you to play your part; ask you to stand up; ask you to put your foot firmly into the current of history. I am asking you to change history's course.
We here at the Church will be taking Monday off to help out in our community here in Austin.
To find service events in your neighborhood, go here.
