Annual Fall Outreach






Sunday afternoon, we were busy at the church preparing for our annual fall outreach. We collect gently used clothes for all ages from our congregation and food items for Thanksgiving dinner. We then set up our activities building in giant garage sale fashion and invite the community to come for a FREE shopping trip. We open the doors next Saturday morning at 8 AM and will have people ready to greet, be shopper assistants, check out helpers, prayer teams and grocery givers. Each family can take as many items as they can use. The building is full of great clothes (some with price tags still on), shoes, household items, accessories and much more. When they check out, they receive a bag of groceries and an opportunity to have someone pray for their needs. It is so much fun to see people have these basic needs met and to see the church come together and love all who come through the doors. Can't wait to see how God moves this weekend and the divine appointments we will have. These are some pictures of our preparations.
