Happy New Year 2012!

New! New! New! Every year brings new stuff! It's fun and exciting but it can be frustrating at the same time. I get a little anxious just thinking about all the changes that will happen in the next year. Along with this ministry's new name we will be trying out some things in hopes of improving our communication. Being a volunteer run ministry, we run on a volunteer budget - ha! ha! That pretty much means $0 comes in and so $0 goes out...makes our bookkeeping pretty simple! However it does come with it's drawbacks. Like having $0 to spend on services or equipment that might make things a little easier. So I am on a quest for finding free services that meet our needs. So please bear with me as I take a
few of these for a test drive this year. If you scroll below you will see the first experiment in the form of a click on link for signing up for the Rock and Worship Roadshow in Ypsilanti on 2/3. This is just one of a few you may see this year. I also have purchased a website that I would like to incorporate this blog into. Unfortunately I have no idea how to build a site so I will be fumbling through this as well unless God sends me a geeky angel to take over the task (Please,please, please). So hang in there with me on this and feed back is always appreciated. I hope that this won't prove to be too annoying and that we will all be blessed by the changes.
Be Blessed in 2012 and thank you so much for your help in 2011!

What We Do:

Serve Squared is a group of volunteers who serve at Michigan (& sometimes Ohio) Christian concerts & events. Whether it be helping artists with their merchandise sales, ushering or manning the tables of other non-profits such as Compassion International or Food For The Hungry, we are there and loving every minute of it. Many of these events could not happen or come to the area if it were not for the time-giving generosity of these volunteers. We would love to add you to our database and let you know about future volunteering opportunities. Email servesquared@gmail.com or click a particular event link on this page to sign up for that event. Be sure to "like" us on Facebook so you can see posts of upcoming events or subscribe to this blog so you can keep up with us!

Volunteer Testimonies & Experiences

Kelly C. says, "My fun experience volunteering at the Rock & Worship Roadshow started at the time I crawled in the van with friends to carpool there! It was time well spent with friends. The day started off with positive people to hang with and continued throughout the evening working with the staff of the bands. The people were fun, the music was positive and the atmosphere was heavenly. Thanks for the opportunity to serve."
Michelle L.: "I just wanted to say thank you for calling me to help last night with the concert. The best part was watching the surprise and excitement on the VIP people's faces when I was giving them the free CD!"

Formerly known as 4 the 1 Ministries

4 the 1 Ministries was birthed out of a need by promoters and event production companies for volunteers to help get the word out about and serve at their events. When it began I wasn't exactly sure how this would all pan out. God is the boss and I love that I can indirectly aid in leading people to Christ or help them in their walk with the Lord. I love that I see friendships being built as volunteers look forward to seeing each other at events and continue the relationship long after the event has ended. I love that the artists look forward to coming to Michigan because they know they will be taken care of by our great volunteers. What can I say? I just love this ministry.So why the name change? Simply this...it was time. God is in charge of everything and when I discovered that another ministry, a very important ministry that aids in stopping human traffiking, had snatched up my ministry's name and "dot com-ed" it, instead of getting angry, I knew that God had another plan and almost instantly gave me the new name Serve Squared. This was total confirmation that this ministry is getting favor from God for me. I have total peace with this change and the direction that God is taking it. I am so grateful for the wonderful people God has led and continues to lead into this ministry. I look forward to going down this new path with God and all of you. What a blessing to be able to serve a great and wonderful God and do it in such a fun way!
Shine On,
