Spread Kindness with a Purpose

Small things done with great love can change the world. A random act of kindness is a simple, effective, and fun way to show the love of Jesus to people around you. With each act, simply give an Acts of Kindness card to let someone know they are noticed and loved by God.

Acts of Kindness cards are available at every James River Church Campus. See how one act of kindness can make an incredible difference.
