Family Friendly Mission Activites for Summer

Please check out all the incredible ways that you and your family could get involved in hands-on mission opportunities this summer!

Market Street Food Pantry 

The food pantry really needs volunteers on Saturdays.  The times are 8:30 – 11:30 am.  The director tells us that they could use people to stock shelves and to help customers.  Easy tasks, short amount of time, huge impact.  Can you help?  If interested, please contact Ellen.

 Sharing the Harvest

FPC will continue our commitment to collecting produce and other items from the local farmer’s market and sharing it all with the Salvation Army.  This is a very easy way to have hands-on mission and teach our children about food insecurity.  We need people every Saturday, June-August.  It takes about 1 ½ hours.  Could you pick one Saturday and join this long-standing ministry at FPC?  Please use this link to sign up!  If this is your first time, Ellen will contact you with instructions.  THANK YOU!

Make it stand out

On June 29, FPC families all over Granville, will be having a “stand” in their yards to raise money for the children in Haiti. Families might sell baked goods, lemonade, pet treats or popsicles!!  Come and find out.   All proceeds will go to Healing Arts Mission of Haiti, a ministry FPC has been supporting for many years.  The money will be earmarked for the education program.  Education is “hope” for children growing up in the chaos of their home country.  Please support our families and H.A.M. by shopping at the various stands.  You will be provided a map with all the locations and hours of operation.  Thank you, FPC families!

Drop-In Center at Holy Trinity Lutheran in Newark

We are looking for men and women who could check guests in, offer a meal and a place to rest.  The hours are 9:30 – 2:30 (you can do 2-hour shifts) on Tues./Wed./Thurs.  Guests attend who have no place for shelter.  They can get out of the weather, charge their phones and have a mailing address.  If you have an extra two hours, every week or so, and are interested please contact Ellen .

 FPC members continue to serve meals every week at the Salvation Army and every other week at Second Presbyterian, Newark.  We thank God for their ministries.
