GET CONNECTED with our CHURCH FAMILY … responding to human need

Good Samaritan Day

Good Samaritan Day- Good Samaritan Day will be on Sunday, October 1, 2023! This year, our theme is “Feeding Our Neighbors,” and we have a variety of meaningful activities planned to make a difference in the lives of those in our community.

LRR: Meal Preparation:

We will prepare a meal for our Neighbors at Lewinsville Retirement Residence (LRR). Volunteers will come together to prepare a meal in fellowship hall that will be delivered that afternoon to all LRR residents. Offering meals to the residents at LRR has become increasingly important due to their weekend meals being suspended.

Jill’s House:

We will also prepare a meal as a blessing to Morning Staff at Jill’s House, a local organization that supports individuals with special needs and their families. We will bless the dedicated staff with a homecooked meal to show our appreciation for their tireless efforts.

Jill’s House:

Later in the day, there will be volunteer opportunities from 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM at Jill’s House, which will involve cleaning and meal service.

Miriam’s Kitchen: 

We will assemble coffee packets for Miriam’s Kitchen. It seems small but these small packages go far giving comfort to folks experiencing homelessness.

Refugee Resettlement Team:

This group will compile and deliver the baby items the church has collected for the H-Family. This team will help the H-family assemble the items and help get their apartment ready for the soon expected twins. ** You must be 18 to sign up for this GSD option

Everyone is encouraged to support SHARE! Before worship service, we will collect food items for SHARE, an organization that assists individuals and families experiencing food insecurity. Your contributions will go a long way in addressing hunger in our community. Please consider bringing non-perishable food items on Good Samaritan Day.

Good Samaritan Day is a wonderful opportunity for us to come together as a congregation and live out the teachings of Jesus by serving our neighbors. We encourage everyone to participate in one or more of these activities as we strive to make a positive impact on our community.

Please mark your calendars for Sunday, October 1, 2023, and join us in serving!
