Externally Focused Opportunities
Would You Like to Bake for a College Life Outreach Project? – Every Tuesday morning, College Life students are giving out hot coffee and fresh baked items at three local bus stops. The purpose is to creatively announce the kingdom and to invite new people to College Life and FBC. College Life GO TEAM leader Ryan Gross is looking for FBC people who want to join in the project by baking cookies, muffins, etc. If you’re interested, and you can provide baked items that we could pick up sometime Monday, please email intern Peter Nittler at plnittler@gmail.com
Grace In Action – Grace in Action, our local faith based ministry that serves the local homeless would very much appreciate your gifts of new or lightly used warm, adult-size gloves and warm, large, dark-colored sweatshirts. Thank you for your continuing prayers and support for our ministry. Donated items can be dropped off between noon and 2:00 pm at our lunch sites: Davis United Methodist Church on Mondays and Poleline Road Baptist Church on Wednesdays. Or, call 530-792-1053 to arrange a pick-up.
Eleven52 is a lunch that Lighthouse Student Ministries puts on every Monday near the Davis High School campus and we are always looking for more help with food purchasing, preparation, and serving. Each week we serve between 75 and 125 students, most of whom are not plugged into church or the youth group! If you would like to find out more about helping with this exciting ministry, please contact Joe Biggs at jbiggs@fbcdavis.org.
Citizens Who Care - This in-home program has several current opportunities for volunteers to visit elderly who are in need of social support and companionship. There are needs both in Davis and Woodland. If you are available for a few hours a week or month, please contact Ellie Slaven at 530-668-8780 or cwcvc@dcn.org or Mark Restrepo at mark.restrepo@gmail.com or 916-425-7994.
Rotating Winter Shelter at FBC – FBC will be hosting the rotating winter shelter (IRWS) for the homeless again this year on March 1-8, 2014.
Opportunity to Service in Yolo County – We are looking for someone to join our “Bread Delivery Ministry”. One volunteer is needed to pick up “day old” bread from both Davis Nugget stores, and deliver it to the Holy Cross Catholic Church, in West Sacramento, for distribution by Yolo Food Bank. A volunteer is needed for one Wednesday a month and one 5th Wednesday a year. Owning a larger vehicle with storage space is ideal. We are in need of a new volunteer to start soon and training is available. If you have any questions, please contact Sally Albertson at sallyalbertson@comcast.net or 530-757-7890. Thank you for your prayerful consideration.
