14 August, 2020 – Advent Announcements

Stop for Just a Moment – 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says two words:  Pray continually.

Each and every one of us may not be able to serve or give in certain ways we may like to, but we can PRAY.
 
Stop what you are doing right now. Pray.

Lumberton: A New Opportunity to Help – Pastor Greg Williamson, who also teaches at Lumberton High School, has forwarded information that one of his fellow teachers has lost her home and all possessions to a house fire. She and her three children are safe. The Red Cross has provided some help and put them up in a hotel. 

To help, please contact Carolyn Jones (Mission/Outreach Board) for information about the family and where to send a donation. Email Carolyn at cmfpjones@yahoo.com or call/text her cell at 919-810-2460.

Helping Those in Need During CoVid-19 – We continue to reach out during this time and we have checked with PORCH (People Offering Relief for Chapel Hill-Carrboro Homes).  The best way to work with them as we are in this pandemic, is to go directly to their website:   www.chapelhill.porchcommunities.org Then, click on the floating banner in red, which says Click here for how to help during COVID-19 crisis. They accept financial donations, they then safely provide to those who are in need of help. For non-perishable food donations, they are referring people to places we have worked with before, such as:  Inter-faith Council For Social  Services  http://www.ifcweb.org and Orange Congregations In Mission www.ocimnc.org. Thanks for continued to care for our community!
