Why Help-Portrait?

Why CampusSERVE is participating:

Fall 2009, CampusSERVE leadership began to explore how we can serve while not robbing dignity from those whom we love.  Have you ever had a friend that never lets you buy them a drink?  They serve you constantly and never let you return the favor?

These friendships do not work. They are one-way relationships. These relationships rob the served of an essential human relationship value – exchange.

Relationships grow deeper when the serving and the served exchange in something together.  One-way service cannot restore dignity. In order to be effective servants of Jesus Christ, we must creatively pursue avenues of exchange. Help-Portrait is an exchange of dignity/portraits for relationships/conversation/participation.

We need volunteers to be encourages, conversationalists, transporters, promoters, and specific volunteers. The community gives us participation in this event and friendships with us to follow-up on with CampusSERVE and we partner to give them a family/individual portrait and VIP treatment.

Two-fold commitment needed from you:

1. Monday, January 25 from 7:00p – 8:00p
2. If you need a ride Monday meet at the Prayer Chapel on campus @ 6:30p to leave by 6:40p.
3. Saturday, February 6 from 10:00a – 4:00p [sign up for a 2-hr time block or all day]

Location of both events – 8th & Commerce, downtown Lynchburg:

Thanks to the Liberty Athletics Ticket Office, CampusSERVE has secured free entry to all LU HOME football games this fall for kids in the community that are accompanied by a CampusSERVE volunteer.

To cash in on the free tickets for the kids:

1. Enter the stadium by Section 16 (by the Football Operations Center)

2. Sign in each kid by first name under the name of the CampusSERVE volunteer

3. Sit in Sections 10 – 16 (on the student side)

4. Please watch to make sure all kids are well-behaved and returned to their homes safely.  The volunteer is responsible for all safety and supervision before, during, and after the game.
