Let God’s light shine through you to the one’s we serve, so that they may know His love too!
WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO:
- Monterey Pines Convalescent Visit, May 7th
Thank you to the volunteers that helped make Mother’s Day special for the mothers at Monterey Pines. We are so blessed to be able to share with the residents. A very special “thank you ” to Abraham Wilson for performing the song that he wrote for his mother. - Rebuilding Together, May 7th
We started the day with prayer, coffee, bagels & donuts. 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!
FOOD DONATIONS
Please help feed a person in need – donate food such as canned meats like chicken, tuna, roast beef or salmon. Also beef stew, chili, canned beans and breakfast cereal. We so appreciate all of the donations you have given , Thank you for wanting to help!
WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS WEEKEND:
- Women’s Shelter Visit, Sunday, May 15th
I know we said it last time but the programs got switched, so this Sunday really is “Bingo Night“. Come have fun playing Bingo and maybe winning a prize. You can fellowship a little too, as these women really need Jesus in their lives.
WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS MONTH:
- CHOMP Blood Drive, May 22nd
Help save a life by donating blood. If you can donate, please sign up for your appointed time and pick up you paperwork at the Community Outreach Booth.
- Annual Backpack and School Supply Drive
Our annual drive starts May 22nd, and the need has increased dramatically from last year. Every child deserves to go to school prepared to learn, so let’s do our part to make that happen. We are still looking for a project coordinator and team.
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.
Pick up your May 2011 calendar at the Community Outreach Booth to find out all that’s happening this month!
If you have any questions or would like more information about any of the above listed events, or any other Community Outreach activities, please stop by the booth this Sunday, shoot us an email, or call us at the church.
