Whatever It Takes Challenge – Instructions for Week of April 5th:

This week our church family is challenged to display our support and appreciation for the healthcare workers who are on the frontlines of COVID-19.

Using things you already have at home have each person in your household make a red heart. It can be simple or decorated, big or small. If you can’t do a red heart – any color will do! Write the names of people you know and love who work in healthcare then say a prayer thanking God for these heroes and ask Him to protect them and their families and to sustain them during the long hours they are working.

Afterwards, hang your hearts on your front door or a street facing window.


Coleman, William and Annie, children of Mary Kate & Gavin O’Connell

Another option is to place a red ribbon around a tree in your front yard. As you tie your ribbon say a prayer.

When you’re done, take a picture of your hearts/red ribbons – be sure to include yourself and family in the picture!

Then …
- If you are on Facebook, Instagram and/or Twitter, post your pictures and  include #fairhopeumcwhateverittakes. For Instagram users, also tag @fairhopeumc in your post! When you search the above # and @, you will be able to see all posts that have those included in them.

- If you’re not on social media, email your pictures to  and we'll post them for you to the church's social media accounts.      

Each week’s Whatever It Takes Challenge will be announced during the 11am online worship service and included in the worship bulletin (www.fairhopeumc.org under Live Events). After the service, it will be posted on the church website and our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts. On Wednesdays, it will be included in the email blast (not signed up to receive these, do so at www.fairhopeumc.org under Email List).
