Shared in Sunday's message (sorry for going long) about the idea of serving in order to combat the issue of pride in our lives. We presented two "new" local opportunities that I believe are worthwhile and could make big impacts in our local communities.
The first was the new animal shelter that is being started for all of Fulton County. The director of the shelter is Opealjean Rogers (Opy). We have had numerous email conversations and the new shelter is in desperate need for supplies and volunteers to help make it a successful start. If this is something you, your small group, or your family would be interested in helping with, you can contact Opy by email.
The second opportunity is through Columbia School (K-2) called GIVE. GIVE stands for Giving, Inspiring, and Valuing Each other. It is a one-on-one mentoring program with local kids. They ask for one hour a week and it can be done according to your schedule. There is some training involved. The school has more kids in the program this year than adult volunteers to help, so the need is big. As I mentioned, we have some incredible people in our church who are active parts of our community. What a great impact it could make to show our school staffs, administration, parents, and community that we are a church who cares! If you would like more information or to get a volunteer application stop by the school or please contact Chris Hohm, second-grade teacher at Columbia.
In the coming weeks, we'll be sharing about the upcoming Miracle Tree - another huge way we can show Love Wins in our communities!
