Sharing the Love of Jesus with the Hurt and Forgotten
Gospel Project Support Fund
Church Volunteer Network has begun to support ministries that share the love of Jesus to vulnerable populations by meeting needs and communicating the gospel of Jesus Christ through a new initiative called the Gospel Project Support Fund. CVN has had a successful first round of Gospel Project Support Funding, awarding two grants in the amount of $1,000 each to Powerhouse Ministries in Folsom and City of Refuge Sacramento for fall outreach events in the Greater Sacramento Region. Congratulations to these two organizations! In the following newsletters, you will hear stories of how these events impacted the communities they served.
CVN has decided to open up a second round of support fund distribution for the remaining 2017 year to entities planning to share Christ’s love through outreaches around the holidays. The grant cycle will be open from September 15th-October 30th and support will be awarded soon after to allow for successful Thanksgiving and Christmas projects.

Help Us Spread the Gospel in the Sacramento Region!
We are so excited about the direction CVN is going in helping groups of people share the gospel and meet needs well in our region. We would like to invite you to help us in this important endeavor:
1. Share the news! We want entities that already share the gospel to know that there is help out there to help make their events successful. We also want to use the Gospel Project Support Fund to encourage people to step out and be creative in the way they reach out to their neighbors in love and the gospel. Please share this newsletter with people you think might benefit from receiving funds to share the gospel
2. Give! Would you like to give towards cultivating and encouraging gospel sharing events in our region? Consider giving to Church Volunteer Network! You can give online HERE or mail a check to 2121 Natomas Crossing STE 200-328 Sacramento, CA 95834
3. Pray! Lives are touched and transformed by God through the power of prayer. Please take some time to pray for the communities in the Greater Sacramento Region. Pray that Christ would be lifted high as more people of faith reach out to others with the hope that can only be found in Jesus
10 Years of Faithful Service at Fountainwood
Church Volunteer Network would like to honor and thank James Dorris for 10 years of faithful service providing church services to residents at Fountainwood Care Facility in Orangevale. James was known to bring smiles on the many faces of the people in attendance at his services with his warm jokes, personal relationships, devotionals of God’s truth and his beautiful voice signing hymns that brought residents back to the beginning of their faith journeys. James has left his position of pastoring residents of Fountainwood to move to Seattle to be closer to family.
THANK YOU JAMES for your many years of service and love!
Sharing Christ’s Love by Washing Feet
On Saturday, September 23rd, 15 young adults from Church of the Foothills in Cameron Park came to Downtown Sacramento to demonstrate Jesus’ love by washing the feet of the homeless. Deep trays were lined up with warm soapy water as people received a warm foot bath and a fresh pair of socks. Toiletries were given out and pedicures were also provided to the ladies who count the event as a spa day. The young adults were able to love on people, pray for them and share the story about how Jesus washed feet too. There were lots of great encounters and conversations.
THANK YOU Church of the Foothills young adults for making this morning so special to the housing insecure in Downtown Sacramento. CVN’s footwashing outreach can be made available to your small group, youth or young adult group. If you are interested in scheduling a footwashing outreach with CVN, please email megan@churchvolunteernetwork.org
