Outreach Update for 11.17.09

On November 17, 2009, in Community Outreach, by CommunityOutreach

COMheader0Community Outreach is as busy as ever with the holidays officially here. So far this week, we have made placemats for the Thanksgiving celebration at the Monterey County Fairgrounds, visited the women’s shelter, and donated over 450 boxes in support of Operation Christmas Child…and it’s only Tuesday!

KION-Branding0It’s time to clean out those pantries! Come out to Shoreline TOMORROW night, Wednesday November 18th, from 4-8 p.m. as local television station KION broadcasts live from our property at 2500 Garden Road in Monterey.  KION has chosen Shoreline as one of their hosts for the Holiday Harvest Food Drive. Please come by between 4 and 8 to drop off canned goods or a cash donation. Cash donations go very far. Just $10 can be stretched into $840 of food and that’s just the beginning!

November’s Shoreline Clean-Up Day, November 28th from 9 am-2pm, will be here before we know it.  Please consider dropping by to help us beautify the property and help get it ready for the Christmas season as we will have our work cut out for us.

If you have been affected by the recent economic downturn and are in need of food assistance, Shoreline’s Food Pantry is here to help.  The hours for this much-needed service have changed and are now 12:30-2:30 pm and 5:30-6 pm by appointment on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

If you would like any information regarding these or any other opportunities to serve, please contact Deb Federico at dfederico@shorelinechurch.org or Megan Huff at mhuff@shorelinechurch.org at 831.655.0100 x338.

First Outreach Update for October

On October 7, 2009, in Community Outreach, by CommunityOutreach

Outreach has been so busy they hardly have time to blog anymore! Here’s what’s been going on with this exciting ministry!

A couple of weeks ago, we were truly blessed to have some new volunteers help us at Shoreline Clean-Up Day. Several members of Otter Christian Fellowship, the Christian club on the CSUMB campus, joined in as we helped beautify and maintain our church grounds.

This past Sunday, a group of women visited the Women’s Crisis Center and blessed the residents there with great and encouraging conversation.

The big thing going on this week is Serve Saturday. We will be beautifying and maintaining the grounds of both the aforementioned Women’s Crisis Center and the Monterey County AIDS Project House. We will meet at 9 a.m. and finish the projects at about 2 p.m.

As the holidays are steadily approaching, Outreach becomes busier and busier! The next event we are proud to be a part of is the Halloween Family Festival here at Shoreline taking place on Friday, October 30th. We have plenty of opportunities to serve in this capacity so feel free to contact us to see how YOU can help children have a safe and fun Halloween.

Of course we are always looking for volunteers for the many projects and ministries Community Outreach is a part of. If you feel the call to serve in this community, please contact Megan Huff at mhuff@shorelinechurch.org or Deb Federico at dfederico@shorelinechurch.org.

Outreach Happenings for 9.22.09

On September 23, 2009, in Community Outreach, by CommunityOutreach

Community Outreach Ministry is up to great things! We want to let you know all about it and how YOU can get involved!

First of all, THANK YOU to the volunteers who showed Christ’s love to the residents of the Monterey Pines Convalescent Home and the Women’s Crisis Center. These volunteers are such a blessing to the community at large.

Join Outreach THIS Saturday, September 26th as we beautify and landscape our own church to make it a pleasing place of worship to all who come here on Sunday mornings! This is a worthwhile event and greatly improves the experience of attendees and guests to the church.

Shoreline is partnering with the Panetta Institute for the Monterey County Reads program. This project connects volunteers who are willing and able to help local school children learn to read with the after school programs with these children in them. We are in the process of coordinating with the Panetta Institute so get in on this fantastic opportunity to impact the life of a local school child.

The economic downturn has affected everyone… especially those who don’t have consistent access to food. In light of this, we are holding a food drive for the Monterey County Food Bank. We are helping them specifically because their food goes to help supply Shoreline’s own food pantry. Please donate non-perishable food in the bins in both the lobby and upstairs.

As the holidays approach, Outreach becomes involved in may different activities. Two of the main activities Outreach supports are Operation Christmas Child and Angel Tree. Both of these programs are not possible without willing and able volunteers to fill boxes, deliver gifts and do so much more.

If you are interested in these or other opportunities to serve, please call 655-0100 x338 or email Debra Federico at dfederico@shorelinechurch.org or Megan Huff at mhuff@shorelinechurch.org.

Shoreliners spruce up our church home!

On February 5, 2009, in Community Outreach, Featured-Auto, by CommunityOutreach

Many thanks to all the Shoreline Folks that came out on Saturday, January 31, 2009. Over 40 people showed up to wash all reachable windows, complete multiple jobs on the exterior of the campus, and gave the sanctuary a good cleaning. Our clothes pantry (now open for business) was cleaned and all clothes sorted according to size. A lot of work was accomplished and could not have been done without the hard efforts of so many. Thank you for your service to our Lord and our church. Take a look at a few photos of our day. REMEMBER: if you missed out on all the fun we have a Shoreline Clean-up Day the last Saturday of every month!
