Good Friday Service
Don't have a Good Friday Service to attend? Join us for this significant event on the Christian calendar as we reflect on and remember the day Jesus was crucified.
Friday, April 3rd @ 4875 Viewridge Ave
Valentine's Day of Compassion
Join for a community service opportunity with AYM with our annual Valentine’s Day of Compassion! Rather than focusing on romantic love, embrace Valentine’s Day as an opportunity to bring joy and God’s love to the community like at an Elderly Care home.
“Normally, I really hate Valentine’s Day. I had spent too much of my time as a youth in my college years feeling sorry for myself that I didn’t have a ‘valentine’. But when I volunteered at Valentine’s Day of Compassion, one person told me this was the best Valentine’s Day she ever had. I told her, actually, this was the best one for me too.”
Final details still TBA. Check our website or @aymsandiego for updates soon!
