Come join us as we put together Thanksgiving food bags for families in need this holiday season. After we assembly the bags, we will go out and deliver to the families. It's a great way to connect and pray with families going through a difficult season. John 1:5 - "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it." We will meet on the back patio of the campus just outside the cafe doors to assemble bags and then head off to our destination to share His love and hope!
Come join us as we put together our Giving Hope Packets for our Giving Hope Tables. Giving Hope packet adoption will begin on Sunday, November 3rd and we will have the packets out every Sunday of the month of November. We will be putting together 1200 adoption packets! These packets will be vital in making the Giving Hope experience a success. Join the fun as we prepare for families to experience the love of Jesus Christ through generosity. We will start right after prayer. This will definitely get you into the Christmas spirit!
Here are some things we will be doing! -Distribute non-perishable food items. -Distribute coats and warm items as available. Pick up trash in the neighborhood -Prepare and serve hot dog lunches. -Prepare and serve hot chocolate or sno-cones. -Pray for the needs of the community. Our specific location has a ton of neighborhood kids that join us! Plan on enjoying Bible story time, basketball, and a playground. We meet at the basketball court at Riverview apartments at 11am to pray, go over guidelines, and set-up. Come expecting a mighty work of God in our community!
Where: Highlands Kids, Rm #1. Step in and go to the left. (Should be no less than 16 tables and chairs) Time: Set up 8-9am. Start at 9am. (We encourage people to attend the prayer session but you are welcome to start creating at any time.) 10-12pm. What: Very simple, one sided cards with stamped scripture verses and encouraging words along with some cute figures. We will be recycling the old connection/serve cards as the base. Theme for November will be designed in advance so no one will have to create their own design. Our goal is to make over 700 cards. 400 will be for Veterans and over 300 for Christmas. The set up is assembly line style with work stations that you man and complete the work at that station. The card is passed on to the next station for further processing until it is completed and ready for distribution. For other Serve Projects: These cards go with Food baskets and drives, Meals, Backpacks, Walker Bags, Assisted living centers and gift bags, Homeless shelters/ warming centers, Breast Cancer Centers, Foster closets, etc. Wherever and whatever the project, we want to supply a hand made touch of encouragement as a ministry to help share the good news. What to bring: I will have the supplies needed for this crafting. I need more manual die cutting/embossing machines for paper. If you have one and can bring it please let me know. This serve is great for all ages and skill levels. All paper crafters and Ink Stampers from any campus is welcomed. I also accept home made printed cards to help fill the request of the ministry. To other leaders: Please contact me if you have a need for these hand made cards to go with your project. I have some cards ready for distribution. There is an application for card requests that needs to be submitted so we can track the outreach.
Ms. Bertha is a precious elderly lady living alone. Her house needs a lot of work, but right now we'll focus on exterior due to city citations. We are gonna repair and repaint one shed, and tear down another shed. We'll huddle at the Gadsden Campus at 7:30am on November 2 before heading over to Ms. Bertha's house.
