Youth Group: The upcoming Youth Group Service Project will benefit Help Hub’s Winter Blessing Bags and The Foster Pantry’s Birthday Bags.
This month our church will be highlighting two mission partners as our community’s children and teachers start a new school year!
ONGOING Service Opportunities:
Calling All Artists and Woodworkers: Kids Making It Needs Your Talent!
Do you love woodworking or are you an artist? Want to make a positive impact in a young person’s life? If you answered yes to both of these questions, please consider volunteering at Kids Making It, a longtime mission partner of First Presbyterian Church!
Woodworkers and artists of all experience levels are needed to guide youth through various projects as part of their After School Program.
Classes run from 4-6pm weekdays throughout the school year and 3-5pm during the summer. You can volunteer as often as you like; it is up to you! Click Here to sign-up!
Good Shepherd Center: Come Serve Your Neighbors!
The Good Shepherd Center offers hot meals and a plethora of other services to neighbors in need. Volunteer opportunities are available to prepare and serve meals.
Volunteers will prepare both a fruit and green salad, bread rolls, and desserts. Dinner is served at 5:30 pm, and volunteers should arrive between 3:30 and 3:45.
Because Good Shepherd works with a medically fragile population, the Board of Directors has decided to require all on-site volunteers to show proof of full vaccination against Covid-19.
