Monthly "Hands-On" Opportunity

ALL GOD'S CHILDREN MINISTRY

Do you have the first Tuesday of the month free?

If so, please mark your calendar to be a part of this monthly mission opportunity as we prepare and serve a meal for the All God's Children Ministry, which works with those in need in downtown Mansfield.

We meet at the First Presbyterian Church at 4 p.m. on the first Tuesday, prepare the food to go downtown, transport it to Main Street United Methodist Church where we share in a worship service, then serve a meal to those in need. 

Can you help?

Please Contact Diana hammer at 419-756-6172 for more information or to volunteer. 

 1 John 3:16,17 ~ We know love by this, that he laid down his life for us -- and we ought to lay down our lives for one another.  How does God's love abide in anyone who has the world's goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help? 

Galatians 6: 10 ~ So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all, and especially for those of the family of faith.
