Esther Short — There weren’t any services on Sunday, Aug. 30, at Abundance Life Church. Instead, members of the church ventured out in the world to volunteer and give back as part of the church’s Serve The City event. Vancouver participants did yard work at Giving Grace House, while others gave meals, clothing and haircuts to roughly 200 people in need. There was also pet care at the event provided by volunteers from the Oregon Humane Society.
