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

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)
