Meals Ministry
Thursday, July 31st, 2008 | By Rich Shipe | Posted in About Us, Announcements, Get Involved, Service Opportunities | No Comments »Often times we are able to minister to our church families by providing meals during an extended illness, hospital stay, or birth of a baby. This is a great way to serve, to meet new people, and to do a behind-the-scenes-but-valuable ministry. Please contact Geni Hall (genihall[at]aol.com or 540-338-4287) to get on our availability list to help as needs arise. Also, Christy Shipe is coordinating meals for the Thomas family while Melissa is going through her six months of chemotherapy. If you would like to help with this ongoing need for the Thomases, you can sign up online or contact Christy directly (540-338-2597).
Clothing Exchange Date Set
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008 | By Rich Shipe | Posted in About Us, Announcements, Calendar, Get Involved, Service Opportunities | No Comments »Yes, we are adding another opportunity to share the blessing of our abundance as we add a Fall Clothing Exchange this year. So start sorting through your closets and be prepared to come October 20 to 25, to drop off stuff you no longer need and take home what others have donated. Geni Hall is the coordinator and she would appreciate hearing from anyone who would like to help sort clothes during that week (genihall@aol.com or 540-338-4287). Stay tuned for more details.
