Each year in the spring, almost 3,000 women, men and children from all MPPC campuses discover the joy of serving through Compassion Weekend. This special weekend was born in 2006 out of a dream to see the church increasingly engaged in acts of service in our own communities. Through this unique experience, we can share the love of Jesus in simple, yet powerful ways...and touch the lives of thousands of people in the process.

On Compassion Weekend, there are no regular worship services. Instead, we send everyone out to work on service projects up and down the Peninsula. We gather on Sunday evening in our Menlo Park campus sanctuary for a joy-filled worship celebration.

Here are a few photos from Compassion Weekend, April 24-25, 2010:
