Landscaping our new home TOMORROW!
Your help is needed! Tomorrow Saturday August 29th we will finish
landscaping our new facility. If you have a green thumb, then we have
plants that need to go in the ground. If you have a black thumb, then we
need you to haul items into position. We are making a day of it from 8AM
to 2PM, so come for as long as you can. Don't miss this opportunity to
meet someone new, help finish our new facility and save the church some
money in the process. Helpful tools might include: roundpoint shovel, work
gloves, sharpshooter, wheelbarrow, rigid steel rake, and sunscreen. Lunch
will be provided. Questions? Contact Ryan
Heckman.

Serving Opportunities
Providing Meals at the Hope Center

Volunteering in this capacity is a great way for individuals, small groups, and families to get involved in The Hope Center. If you are interested in volunteering in this way please contact Matt Nagel or call (816) 913-6290 ext. 103.
