We have a lot going on right now in our outreach ministries!

Canning Class: July 25
Coming up on July 25 at 6:00 P.M., Dawn Benbow will be leading a canning class at the church.  The jars will be provided, as will the tomatoes.  Don’t miss this very fun and interesting experience!

Summer of Service Work Day: July 31
Our next Summer of Service day is on July 31.  It will begin at 9:00 A.M. and end at 12:00 P.M. with refreshments.  We will be clearing trails at Kopper Top, a non-profit organization that provides therapeutic horseback riding and animal-assisted therapy for individuals with disabilities.  (Because Kopper Top is located at a farm, we will have to drive about 25 minutes to get there, so we should not expect to be finished early, like we were on the July 10 Summer of Service day.)  We will also be building a greenhouse at the Community Garden and cooking for members of our congregation.  Kids will paint artwork to hang in patients’ rooms at Beacon Place.

Ten Thousand Villages Work Project: August 2
On August 2 at 4:40 P.M. we will be painting fixtures in the Ten Thousand Villages store, a fair trade organization.  We will meet at the church and drive over together.  If you are unable to be there at 4:40, you are welcome to join us later!  We will be finished by 8:00 P.M.

Summer of Service Work Day: August 14
During our August 14 Summer of Service workday, we will be hosting a back-to-school party for 40-60 kids and their families at Glen Haven.  Many of these families are newly arrived refugees and will greatly benefit from this.  To prepare for this party, we are collecting backpacks and school supplies to be distributed to the kids.  These donations may be put in the donations box in the narthex and monetary donations may be labeled Summer of Service and placed in the offering trays.

All of these will be wonderful experiences and we hope you will join us for them!  You can sign up by e-mailing Alison at outreach@fccgreensboro.org.
