A PLACE FOR EVERYONE is what we call our SOUP
KITCHEN ministry. If you like to have direct contact with the people you
serve then this is the place for you. Every week our soup kitchen volunteers
prepare food in our church kitchen and then take it to the Salvation Army where
they serve it to hungry men, women, and children. If you want to experience the
joy of seeing a little child’s eyes light up at the sight of a peanut butter
and jelly sandwich and hear their murmured thank you as they accept it, then you
need to come join our team.
REACHING OUT to those in need is a very
important part of the life of First Christian Church. The scope of the
outreach program is very inclusive and offers everyone an opportunity to
reflect God’s love by serving others, whatever your interests may be.
First Christian’s Outreach Program occupies a unique place among the
services offered in Montgomery County because we have the capability and
the facilities to address all of the basic needs – hunger, shelter,
transportation, and counseling.
If you like to work behind the scenes
we have many opportunities for you to serve. Our FOOD PANTRY
sacks donated food, canned good and nonperishable, which are then given
out to people in need that come by the church and pick them up.
The Hug-A-Bears Ministry
reaches out to those in need of comfort. A large group of men and women
gather every week in our family center to make teddy bears. They enjoy
fun and fellowship as they sew and paint teddy bears that are then
distributed to frightened, hurting children in emergency rooms,
pediatric wards and police stations in Montgomery County. First
Christian Church has made over eleven thousand
teddy bears.
