Spare Change October 2016
Missions Update
Food Pantry:
During the month of October, we will be collecting personal care items. Along with each food box we like to offer our clients a couple of personal items. You would be surprised at how many people desperately need these items and sometimes they can be some of the most expensive items; there will be a collection bin in the foyer of the church. We are collecting items like: toilet paper, shampoo, body wash, soap, razors, shaving cream, feminine products, deodorant, etc. The next time you go shopping pick up an item and drop it off, this will greatly bless our clients!
We are also looking for more volunteers for the food pantry ministry. There is a job for
anyone. If you are interested, please see me or Deanna Comer.
Hispanic Church Plant:
The Hispanic church plant that we are sponsoring is gearing up for a big event Oct. 14th-16th. This will be a three-night kick-off event. They want to invite everyone to this event. There will be a translator to help non-Spanish speakers. Friday and Saturday is at 6 pm and Sunday starts at 4 pm. They will be meeting at the Life Change Central campus. Please be in prayer for this plant. If you are interested in helping with set-up or serving food let me know, they could use a few extra hands.
AIS Partnership:
Mark your calendar! We will be helping with our first AIS event on Oct. 27th. We will be preparing a meal for students and families, as well as helping to serve the meal. This is a great way to encourage the students and minister to the faculty. Please consider volunteering. If you are interested see me or Dana Comer.
We are also mentoring students at AIS. If you have an hour a week to help a student, please let me know. No special skills are required. You just need to love students and want to help them.
Charis House:
The Charis House ministry is taking applications. If you know of a family that is homeless, or near homeless, please direct them to the church office so they can get an application. This is a program that includes a place to live, but there are very strict guidelines and the applicants must allow our team members to mentor them. There is also a background check and drug test (if needed).
