Homeless Mission trip to Portland, ME 11/13/11

bjrehill — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 15:55:56 +0000

We will be heading to Portland after service on Sunday November 13th, 2011. If you haven’t been with us yet, this would be a great time. We are still in need of snack items and cold weather items to be donated. We need things like long johns (tops and bottoms), scarves, blankets, quilts, sweaters and any food item that does not need a can opener. If you are able to donate please bring these items before November 13 to the church. The best time would be before service on Sunday mornings. Service starts at 10 AM

Praise in the Park a Great Success

We had a great turnout for Praise in the Park! Thank you all for your support in this wonderful ministry: the evangelism tent, the food booth, the sound and video technicians, everyone who helped set up tents, Crossfire Youth, Pastor Tim, the Worship band, and One Less Lost, and last but most important, Jesus! Did I miss anyone? I hope and pray not! If I did, my sincere apologies.

God Bless You All,
Matt

Portland Homeless Mission May 17 2009

Dear Family,

This Sunday is the homeless mission to Portland. Though we have a lot of people going we are lacking in tote bags and things to fill the totes with. Please consider donating even one item. If each family donated just one small item (which price averages $2.00 at Wal-Mart) we would have well over 100 items to put in the bags. Would you please consider picking up something from the list below and dropping it at the church no later than Friday night. The youth will be taking all the items with them. And if you already have given thank you so much, from the bottom of our hearts.

Here’s what we still need:

Granola bars
Cereal bars
Snacks
Pudding cups
Fruit cups
Apples
Oranges
Bottled water
Cookies in small packages
Peanut butter crackers in small packages
Prepackage tuna & crackers
Or any small snack packages.

Thank you for all your donations, God bless you all,

Candy and Mark Allen

Spring Homeless Missions

bjrehill — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 00:06:24 +0000

Yes it’s that time again. We will be doing another Homeless mission in May. The Youth Group will be participating with our Youth Pastor. They will all be heading to Portland. So I was hoping we would have some volunteers to go to Manchester, it’s been a long time since we’ve been there!

I’m sure Pastor Jeff’s message today tugged at a lot of peoples hearts…remember we love anything you can donate to these missions, time, food, clothing, or yourself as a missionary for the afternoon. It’s always worth it, and you will come back deeply moved, with your eyes
open to a love only our Heavenly Father could have designed! So get ready!

We will be collecting starting as soon as possible, we have plenty of clothes right now. So I think we are all set there. But here’s what we do need:

Walmart tote bags ($1.00ea) (to store food)
combs
deodorant
toothbrushes
toothpaste
mouthwash
small pkgs of handi wipes
sunglasses
baseball hats
socks
Food:
- small pkgs prewrapped snacks
- apples
- oranges
- juiceboxes
- bottled water
- small containers of soup
- small containers of fruit
- apples sauce snack packs
- cereal bars
- granola bars
- any other snacks you can think of!
Always- BLANKETS AND BEDROLLS (WALMART CAMPING SECTION, BLUE AND ROLLED UP $6.00 EA)

Please let Mark and I know if you think you might be attending, I’ll e-mail the date a little later!

And as always, Thank you all for your hearts that are so willing to give to these lonely people!

Love and God Bless,

Candy and Mark A.
