All-Church Clean-up Day | November 5th

The Organic Outreach Conference is kind of like throwing a party at your home. Naturally, you want everything to be in tip-top shape when you welcome your guests. With that in mind, we’ve planned a special ‘spruce up the house’ day for Saturday, November 5th from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. We will be painting, cleaning, moving, gardening and more. Food provided, extra tools will help. Sign-up for a project in the Connections Center on Sunday, or email us.

We’ve organized shifts to help allow you to feel comfortable only coming for part of the day, but we’d love for you to stay for multiple shifts if possible.

Shifts 1 – 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.

Shifts 2 – 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Shifts 3 – 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.

We will have food provided at multiple times of the day. Unfortunately, we can not provide childcare during this event, but there will be projects for most ages to participate in. Tools will be provided, but it would be very helpful if you have your own tools to bring them as well (i.e. gloves, shovels, paintbrushes and tarps).

Join us Sunday, you’ll enjoy the WAFFLES but you’ll love the WORD!

WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS WEEKEND:

• Monterey Pines Visit, Saturday, July 16th , 9:45-11:30 a.m.
  This Saturday we will be visiting both Cypress Ridge (formerly Monterey Pines) and Windsor Monterey Care Centers. We will need to be sharing a lot of love, so if it is in your heart to help share that love, please join us. Meet in the parking lot of Cypress Ridge.

Then it was off to doing landscaping/weed-whacking, filling up dumpsters with unwanted items/garbage and cleaning interior wall with disinfectant. Thank you to all of you that gave their heart and time by working hard to help a woman in need. Please see the Community Outreach Flickr for the pictures of our day!

WHAT’S HAPPENING NEXT MONTH:

• “Get on the Bus”, June 18th
  We will be sponsoring a bus of children that will be going to Soledad Prison to visit their Dad’s for Father’s Day. It will be our responsibility to supply them with a “stay connected bag” with things in it such as disposable cameras, pens, boxes if note cards and envelopes, construction paper, boxes of crayons, postage stamps,etc. These things will be used to help the kids stay connected to their Dad’s by allowing them to send them letters, pictures, hand made cards and such. These children have a difficult life and we are so glad that God has given us the opportunity to give them some love.
