Kindness Week

April 3 - 9 2022

KINDNESS WEEK

WHAT? What is Kindness Week? It is a week where Mobberly (that’s YOU) will do random, but intentional acts of kindness in the name of Jesus.

WHO? Mobberly Members/Attenders, each of us individually, as families, or Connect Groups

WHEN? Sunday, April 3 – Saturday, April 9

WHERE? We will do these acts of kindness in our city, neighborhoods, and workplaces

WHY? Showing kindness should be the overflow of the joy and love of Jesus in our lives. As followers of Christ, we are commanded to do this as individuals and with our Connect Groups (the Church). Our hope is that this week will serve as a catalyst that will continue all year long.

HOW? As we are doing this, our hope is to ultimately show the love of Christ. Hopefully, these acts of kindness will lead to curiosity about Jesus and the Gospel. Make sure you get several Kindness Cards to hand out as well (available at all three services on Sunday, April 3).
