This summer they have fed the homeless, visited nursing and retirement homes, handed out bottles of water on the beach and taken part in a prayer walk. Last Saturday, the group from Real Life Christian Church offered to wash cars for free at the gas station on the corner of Missouri Ave. and East Bay Drive as part of their continuing commitment to community service.
