What happens when churches come together to love their neighbors? Amazing things.

More than 75 volunteers from Open Hearts, St. Michael Lutheran, and Augusta Heights Baptist joined forces for Love Your Neighbor 29605, serving alongside neighbors in the Pleasant Valley neighborhood and supporting the missions of GirlUp Greenville, Conestee Nature Preserve, Habitat for Humanity, and the Carolina Literacy Project.

Together we cleaned, organized, built, planted, and served—living out Christ’s call to love our neighbors with our hands and hearts.

Thank you to every volunteer and ministry partner who made this day possible. We are stronger together, and we are grateful for the opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our community.
