2nd Saturday of the month
Holly Morse, coordinator |
A new volunteer ministry that meets the 2nd
Saturday of the month for breakfast and devotions followed by community work and/or a service project
at church. Great opportunity for families! There is
something for everyone to do!
FaithWorks is based on James 2 - "You can
no more show me your works apart from your faith than I can show you
my faith apart from my works. Faith and works, works and faith, fit
together hand in glove." The Message |
|

The FaithWorks team has
adopted a new motto of “God's love in action” inspired by the words of
Mother Teresa in her book, The
Simple Path. Over the past three months we have made
connections on Saturday mornings with the following social services:
Gray’s Academy Center for Early Childhood Education, Joy House,
Northcott Neighborhood House, Repairers of the Breach for the
Homeless, Family House, The Salvation Army, and United Methodist
Children’s
Services. We have also made
cards for veterans, delivered pumpkins and poinsettias, and done
yard cleanup for our own church members.
