This weekend marks the one year anniversary of our Second Saturday outreach ministry which is based out of our Crossroads facility. On the 2nd Saturday of each month, we gather at 8:30 A.M. at Crossroads, choose among several projects, pray for God to bless our work, and go out to serve.
In just one year, this ministry has been involved in a number of outreach opportunities such as...
- Painting city fire hydrants.
- Building homes and helping at the Habitat for Humanity store.
- Serving at a transitional house for those who have been in prison.
- Partnering with Metropolitan Housing to help people find employment.
- Playing bingo and visiting with nursing home residents.
- Taking fruit and cookies to police and firefighters.
- Cleaning up trash along the bike path and in our parks.
- Helping grocery store customers with their carts in the parking lot.
- Putting in flooring at Foundation Shelters (ministry to the homeless.)
- Putting in flooring at the home of a single parent.
- Providing coins for customers at a laundromat.
- Hosting educational forums on local social issues.
- Packing health kits for Haiti earthquake victims.
Happy birthday, Second Saturday!
