Some ways in which local councils may engage in service:
- Host events in support of parish (communion breakfasts, clergy appreciation lunches, senior evenings, funeral receptions).
- Support/host/participate in events in service of the community (serving at food banks or soup kitchens, collecting winter clothing for shelters, visiting shut-ins, etc.).
- Support national or international initiatives by, for example, sponsoring a person through an organization such as Chalice, participating in events held by groups such as Development and Peace, etc.
- Develop/support services to help in the areas of homelessness, human trafficking, poverty, bullying, racism, etc.
- Educate members about charitable needs in local, national and international communities through guest speakers.
- Organize fundraisers for council initiatives.
- Study and implement the action plans of related adopted resolutions.
- Consider initiating a resolution on a topic of interest to the council (see Resolutions Handbook).
