Missions Day 2019

Get dirty In the Community Garden planting vegetables, flowers and help install ornamental fencing. Open to all ages and abilities, family friendly, bring a shovel and/or hand trowel if you have one. 

Impact: Flowers are used to help beautify tables for grieving families for our bereavement ministry and healthy food harvested from our garden helps feed the hungry in our community. 

Receive and organize donations in the lower FBC parking lot.

Impact: Habitat ReStores are independently owned reuse stores operated by local Habitat for Humanity organizations. Proceeds are used to help build strength, stability, self-reliance and shelter in local communities and around the world.  https://habitatgreensboro.org/restore/

Help with a ramp-building project or a painting project for those in need in our community.  CHS will confirm exact project details closer to the May 4 date and we will let you know as we do.  Please sign up so we can keep you informed of details (for ages 14 and older). 

Impact:  Community Housing Solutions’ mission is to provide decent, safe and affordable housing to low-income households working towards the elimination of substandard housing, restoring the dignity and hope to families living in Guilford county neighborhoods.

Help organize and clean for the students at Hope Academy. 

Impact:  Hope Academy exists to serve students that are socio-economically disadvantaged. You will help teachers and staff at this excellent middle school be able to focus on teaching the students instead of maintaining their facility. 

All ages and abilities can visit a homebound member in our church on this Saturday or another time that you work out.  We will provide names and addresses. 

Impact: Faithful servants of our church who are no longer able to be here due to health and mobility issues would love to see your friendly face and be reminded of God’s love and the love of our church family.  

All ages and abilities can share conversation and write notes or draw pictures for our FBC church family who cannot make it to church and who struggle with health and aging issues. 

Impact:  A note of love and remembrance is a cherished treasure and helps beloved church family be reminded of God’s love and our love for them.
