The week of Sept. 8 through 15 you might see a lot of bright gold and black t-shirts being worn by people all over Bluffton carrying rakes or hammers or paintbrushes and the like, and wearing work gloves.  

Who are these people, and what will they be doing? 

Well, they'll be the people of English Lutheran Church, and they'll be doing acts of random kindness and intentional acts of service as they participate in The AmazingRACE-Week of Service event.

At Girl Scouts, girls are always counting down to the next adventure they will go on together.  Maybe it is artistic.  Maybe it's an experiment.  Maybe it's getting outside or helping the community.  With Girl Scouting, girls make new friends and have a ton of new experiences that show how exciting the world is, and how awesome girls are. When girls just can't wait for what they'll do next, they can do anything they set their mind to! This is what Girl Scouts call the “I can’t wait to” feeling.
