“3G Sunday, which stands for Gather, Give and Go, gives us a chance to go into the community to give our time and talents.” -3G Administrator Susan Rice
Over 350 volunteers worked on 15 different projects throughout Flagler County on 3G Sunday, Oct. 18. 3G Sunday is held every year as an opportunity for Epic Church members to give back and show their gratification to different organizations in Flagler County. Epic Church has had a 3G Saturday in the spring and a 3G Sunday in the fall every year for the last three years. Two of the fifteen projects were dedicated to showing support for Flagler County’s local firefighters. A small team partnered with the City of Palm Coast went to fire station No. 23 to add a fresh coat of paint to the stations interior walls.

At the same moment, eleven Epic Church families produced homemade goodies and thank you cards to bring to each fire station in Flagler County. The baking of the treats and creating of the cards served as a great opportunity to get the children involved in giving back to the community. Epic Church chose the fire stations to receive the gifts for their sacrifice to keep the community safe. Project leader, Alli Robbins, sees firsthand the sacrifice the firefighters in Flagler County go through. Alli’s brother Jesse Hunter is a firefighter paramedic and a field training officer. “He is passionate about his work, it is important to him to do it well,” Alli Robbins said. “His dedication is comforting to see as a citizen, it shows that the men and women firefighters who come when someone is in need actually do care.”
