1: The Church is helping out with getting the Family Promise home set up. Family Promise is an organization that our church partners with to host homeless families as they try to get back on their feet. Family Promise is getting together a Day Center that the families will go to every day. The day center is a home that is in need of some work. All of the churches are coming together to get the house together. They had a work day a few weeks ago and they will have more. I am hoping that we will be able to help at those. Dates TBA.
2: This option would be to help once a month at Oyster Creek (a low income community down near Lake Jackson) with a youth program. Diane Leverton, a member at FFC, has been going once a month for several years to do a bible club or devotional time with kids in that community on Sunday evenings. There really hasn't been anything for youth and they are looking for help starting a program We would go and help out just like at our youth group by supervising, loving on kids, play with kids, having conversations with kids or helping serve the meal. I know some of you volunteer with our youth group but we think it would be easy to make arrangements on one Sunday a month to get coverage. This would be a big undertaking. So, we would need to think wisely about it and maybe investigated it a bit. I was thinking of going on a field trip down there in the next weeks to see what it is like. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
