Operation Inasmuch

08/27/2026

❤️🤍💙 25 Years later, we remember by serving.

This September, we're honoring the 25th anniversary of 9/11 in a meaningful way by coming together to serve our community and spread hope.

On Saturday, September 19, churches from across Knoxville will gather at Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church to pack 30,000+ meals for people in need. 🙌

This is more than a food packing event. It's an opportunity to come together in the name of Jesus, serve our neighbors, and show that even in difficult moments, hope and kindness can make a difference.

We need YOU to make it happen! Gather your family, small group, Sunday school class, youth group, church family, and friends to serve. Every volunteer makes a difference!

Let's honor the past by serving others, sharing hope, and making a difference together.

Operation Inasmuch
Fountain City Day of Service | August 15, 2026
Join a day of community service as we get out of our seats and into the streets! There are a variety of projects this year, so there’s something for everyone — including families — lots of opportunities for serving and donating.

If you can garden, clean, w**d, collect/pack/give away food, pray, pack a care bag, make a casserole, give, ring, visit, sing, donate, build, check cars, wash, paint, make a blanket, or fix lunch - the least of these in our community need you and you’ll have fun too!

📊 Why Do We Ask Churches to Submit an Operation Inasmuch Report?

Because every act of compassion tells a story of God's faithfulness.

When your church submits a report after an Operation Inasmuch event, you're doing more than sharing numbers. You're capturing the impact of your ministry and celebrating what God accomplished through your congregation.

For your church, reports help:
✅ Record stories and testimonies that might otherwise be forgotten.
✅ Celebrate volunteers and ministry successes.
✅ Measure community impact.
✅ Inspire future outreach efforts.

For the national Operation Inasmuch ministry, reports help:
✅ Track the growing Compassion Revolution across the country.
✅ Share stories that encourage and inspire other churches.
✅ Demonstrate the effectiveness of compassion ministry.
✅ Identify trends and opportunities to better serve churches.

Most importantly, every report helps tell the bigger story of how God is using ordinary believers to do extraordinary things in His name.

If your church recently held an Operation Inasmuch event, we would love to hear about it!

Submit your report here: https://www.operationinasmuch.org/report/

Thank you for helping us document and celebrate what God is doing through His Church. ❤️

"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." John 13:34-35

🗨️ "Operation Inasmuch enhances the possibility that ordinary believers can be used by God to do extraordinary things."

That's the beauty of Operation Inasmuch.

God doesn't just work through pastors, teachers, worship leaders, or those on a church stage. Throughout Scripture, He used fishermen, tentmakers, business owners, doctors, and everyday people to accomplish His purposes.

Operation Inasmuch creates opportunities for believers to use the talents, skills, and passions God has already given them to serve others in Jesus' name. Whether you're painting a wall, building a ramp, mentoring a child, serving a meal, praying with a neighbor, or offering a helping hand, God can use your ordinary gifts to make an extraordinary impact.

When people discover that ministry isn't limited to what happens inside the church building, their understanding of serving God changes forever. They experience the joy and fulfillment of being God's hands and feet in their community.

You don't have to be extraordinary to be used by God. You simply have to be willing.

"This was Cornerstone's 18th year in Inasmuch. This year we decided to go as a group to one of our local elementary schools for a morning of projects. We have partnered with Westfield for several years, including staff meals and back to school events.

For 2026 Operation Inasmuch, we worked outside the school by spreading mulch and brick chips, cleaning the parking lot and front entry, and cleaning and painting the mailbox. Inside the school, we helped organize their "Loads of Love" room. This room serves as a food and clothing pantry for the students and their families. We installed clothing racks, and organized clothing by size and gender. We also shopped for food items for the room.

We enjoyed working as a group at the same work site. There was a lot of good fellowship throughout the morning."
