A church mission doesn't have to be halfway around the world. Sometimes, it's just a couple blocks down the road.

Volunteers at Concord Baptist Church took that short trek on Sunday to Kwik Car Lube & Tune, 3636 W. Truman Blvd., where they gave free oil changes and pre-winter tuneups. The event was aimed at helping single women, and about 45 were signed up.

"There are plenty of things churches can do locally," said Bill Reichard, an event organizer from Concord.
