Service Opportunities
Nursing Home Trivia
The Service Team needs your help this Saturday, February 13th! Whitney O. has arranged for us to run a trivia contest with some residents at a local nursing home, and then have a little time to just hang out with them afterwards. The reason we think this is really important is that some residents of nursing homes don’t get many visitors, and can often by a forgotten section of society, so this is a great chance to show them the love of a God who cares for everyone, even the least and the last. If this is something that interests you, you can meet at the church at 9:30am to carpool to the nursing home, and you should be back by 12pm. Since we can only take 20 people, please send Clay M. an e-mail if you want to come!
The Thanksgiving Box Project
In the middle of November, we partner with Scranton Road Bible Church for the Thanksgiving Box Project. During the Saturday morning each of our adult leaders takes a group of students and delivers several Thanksgiving boxes which include the necessities for a Thanksgiving meal. These “boxes” are delivered to families in the urban Cleveland area who do not have the resources to celebrate a Thanksgiving meal. Upon delivery we pray with the family, invite them to visit the church, and try to bless them in any way possible. It always is a beneficial experience.
The high school Service Team is a group of individuals who proactively seek out ways to serve others. It usually involves a big task which can be quickly accomplished by many hands. For example in the past we have done things such as helping a family move or volunteering at Alternaterm.
