Watauga Great Day of Service & Mission Celebration 2026

On Saturday, Aug. 22, Boone UMC is joining with other area United Methodist Church congregations for the Watauga Great Day of Service as part of our annual Mission Celebration weekend. The service day is a chance to come together and love our community through hands-on projects. We will meet at at 8:30 am at Deerfield UMC (1184 Deerfield Rd, Boone, NC 28607) for a brief time of devotion and prayer, along with a light breakfast, before heading out from 9:00am-12:00pm to different service sites. Opportunities for all ages and abilities will be available with some of our mission partners, including Hospitality House and Homestead Recovery, as well as some of our own ministries, including the Firewood  Lot and Community Garden. Service opportunities will include staining a fence, cutting firewood, clearing invasive species from our property, picking up litter, and writing notes of encouragement. Get together with your Sunday School class or small group or gather a group of friends to make a difference in our community and beyond! Click above to sign-up!
