COMMUNITY OUTREACH UNLEASHED
It was a great day for Community Outreach and for our whole church community last Sunday at the Community Outreach Unleashed event. We want to thank every single one of you who participated and shared great ideas on how to impact our community with the love of Christ. We have gone through all of the ideas that were presented, talked and prayed about them, and have picked out the best/most feasible suggestions. If you were unable to attend this event but do have some other ideas and thoughts to contribute to our Community Outreach ministry, please don’t hesitate to let us know. Contact us by email or by calling the church. We’d love to hear from you!
Our next step, then, is to see these ideas come to life — but we can’t do it alone! We need your help to continue to make this ministry grow and reach people for the sake of Christ. For those of you who are already serving some way in Community Outreach or another area of our church, thank you so much for your gifts of service! If you are new, however, or simply haven’t gotten plugged into a ministry yet, we invite and encourage you to do so! Let us know what areas you are interested or gifted in and we will do our best to help get you involved!
CAPRA PARK – June 12th, 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Next Saturday, we will be doing a huge park clean-up in Seaside at Capra Park, located on the corner of Luzern & Sonoma Avenue. Our goal is to share the love of Christ through ministering to our community’s tangible needs. This includes making a positive impact on the neighborhood in order to enable families to use this park, getting increased patrol, and making the park a safer and more enjoyable environment for the residents of that area. Some of the possible things we will be doing are: painting the play equipment and stairs, moving the swing set, clearing out the weeds, repairing a rock wall, painting children’s games on the basketball court, sifting the sand, and putting wood chips along the front strip. We will be partnering with the city of Seaside, the neighboring community, and other Shoreline volunteers.If you know of ways you can contribute to these needs, please let us know. We hope you can join us for this great service opportunity! Questions? Contact Lacy Spangler or Deb Federico, or call the church at 831.655.0100.
