These days are a flurry of activity, as an event called Serve the City is dominating the time and attention of a couple hundred volunteers -- including me and my family -- on 31 different service projects throughout Amsterdam.

I thought you might be interested to read a post that I wrote today for a site called "Serve the City Stories".  More stories should be showing up on this site over the coming couple of days, as well.

My role in the Serve the City activities is relatively minor -- but I think it's cool that this event began as an initiative of Zolder50.  I'm proud of our church in the heart of Amsterdam.
