ONGOING EVENTS IN OUTREACH…
THIS WEEKEND, some of our wonderful volunteers in Community Outreach went out to the Monterey Pines Convalescent Hospital and the Hamilton House Women’s Shelter to minister to the residents there in ways that we hope will impact them most with the love of Christ. Monterey Pines is a faithful group that is led by Jane Shaffer-MacDonald and Abraham Wilson. Abraham writes about what happens during these visits:
“The Monterey Pines Convalescent visits are conducted on the first and third Saturday of each month starting at 9:45 am and ending at 11:00 am. We fellowship with and average of 25 residents who attend our service. (there are approximately 100 residents at the facility.) We perform an actual Shoreline-type worship service comprised of 4 songs, prayer, scripture reading, 15-minute message and benediction. The intent of the service is to bring the Word of God to the residents at the various stages of their life and health. We are looking for volunteers who understand the importance of fellowship with the elderly and medically challenged. Having a good heart, compassionate spirit and understanding the importance of feeding all of God’s children is our primary function. Our most popular event is the Christmas service in which we provide presents for all attendees. On this day we give out lots of Bibles. We welcome all who would like to participate at any time of the year.”
Our next Convalescent Home Visit will be on Saturday, November 6th, from 9:45am-11:30am!
If you would like to come with us, are interested in getting involved with the Convalescent Home visits, or would simply like more information, please contact us at the church by phone or email and we will get you connected!
Our visits to the Hamilton House Women’s Crisis Shelter happens every first and third Sunday night. We just went this last Sunday night and had a fantastic time! These women who live in the house have gone through a lot and have come from some very different, but all very difficult life situations. We visit them and minister to them in various ways – from training times on how to budget finances, write a resume, succeed in a job interview, or apply makeup, to Bible studies and cookies and gifts and fellowship. Just spending time with the women does so much, but we are always looking for women in our church body who have specific gifts or talents or can use their career to help these women in transition. If you have some kind of skill, passion, gift, or career that you believe could benefit the women of the Hamilton House, or if you would just like to come visit with us, please contact us at the church. We show up around 7 p.m. and stay until around 8:30; it is an amazing thing to see God work through the women of Shoreline to minister to these precious ladies at the Hamilton House.
Our next Women’s Shelter Visit will be on Sunday, November 7th, from 7:00-8:30pm!

COMING UP SOON is our Annual Halloween Family Festival, in which our Community Outreach Ministry plays a huge role! We have the privilege of organizing and taking on the always-popular “Trunk O’ Treat” feature, which serves as a mini replacement of door-to-door trick-or-treating. But, instead of houses decorated in Halloween fare, it will bet the trunks of your cars! Sign up at the booth to reserve a spot for your vehicle to be a part of this fun event! Or, you may consider signing up to be sign up to be a part of the trunk o’ treat committee, which will help with set up, tear down, and judging on best decorated trunk! Either way, this event will be one you will not want to miss!
