Our Current
Outreach Projects
Our first outreach project for 2010 is the
Baby Bottle Fundraiser for the
Pregnancy and Resource Center. This month long fundraiser is held in
conjunction with the Sanctity of Life Sunday, January 24, 2010. Baby
bottles are located by the front door and the table downstairs by the
office. Simply fill the bottle with change, dollar bills (we’ll take
checks too!), and return the bottle to church no later than Sunday,
February 28, 2010. The proceeds from this fundraiser are placed in
the general operating fund. The PRC is in need of one or two new board
members, as well as volunteers to assist with office duties, etc. If
interested, please contact Judy Hunt at 348-3388. Thank you to everyone
who has so generously supported the PRC, particularly those
donations of handmade items, such as blankets and hats, which are
greatly appreciated (and admired).
Questions have been raised regarding
whether or not we are doing a church wide project for Haiti in the
aftermath of the earthquake. At this time, we are not. However, if you
would like to make a donation, Franklin Graham’s organization,
Samaritan’s Purse, is recommended as media information indicates that
Christian organizations are having greater success reaching the Haitian
people than larger governmental organizations. Online donations can be
made at www.samaritanspurse.org.
The
Christian Women’s Job Corp and the Christian Men’s Job Corp are
progressing. Board members are still needed, so if you have any
interest, or if God is nudging you to get involved in the community,
please contact Josie Bennett at 347-6890 for more information. Stay
tuned for more information when it becomes available.
Manna donations
are ongoing: pancake mixes and syrup, muffin mixes, peanut butter and
tuna.
