In 2009 a Presidential Proclamation officially established September 11th a National Day of Service and Remembrance.<\/p>\n<p>If your church is going to sponsor a service event for your community you can register your project with <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.allforgood.org\/\">All For Good<\/a> <\/strong>or <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.volunteermatch.org\/\">VolunteerMatch<\/a><\/strong> which will automatically put your event in a searchable database. If community members are looking for a way to get involved they can visit <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.911day.org\/about\/\">9\/11day.org<\/a><\/strong>, search by zip code, and find your service project.<\/p>\n<p>This may be just what your people need to catch the vision for serving!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes people need a little push to get on board with serving.
