GCI’s congregation in Tipp City, OH (CrossRoads Christian Fellowship) had a key role in the recent Tipp City Area United Way Day of Caring. The event centered on the work of volunteers who completed six projects to improve the community, including sprucing up flower beds and picking up trash in city parks and cleaning up around the high school.
Jim Valekis, CrossRoads’ senior pastor and a member of the local United Way board, helped coordinate and promote Day of Caring. Jim noted that its purpose was to “get as many churches, organizations and groups as possible to come together to unleash shared care into the community… Caring breeds caring; people from across the age spectrum and all over the community worked together to bring about good.”
