Two great options for you - one we just found out about, but it's a great way to love your city!Saturday - Allen Avenue Clean-up
Come lend a hand in keeping the Fairmount neighborhood beautiful and help cleanup Allen Avenue. For City Church folks, meet at 7:40 am on Saturday October 17 at 1412 S. Henderson St. (Steve & Anne Teng's home) to say a quick word of prayer, and then walk over to the site just a few blocks away for the 8am start. We'll spread out along Allen to pick up trash to beautify the neighborhood. We will also cleanup Fairmount Park. Please come join us in keeping Fairmount beautiful. Contact Steve Teng through The City Church's online network, or email him.
Sunday - The City Church: SERVE
Charles E. Nash Elementary School (FWISD - http://schools.fwisd.org/nash/Pages/default.aspx) sits on the northeast edge of downtown. Built in 1927, the city and school district are doing several renovations on the old school, in preparation for the influx of families and students moving into the downtown area.
We have the opportunity to serve the students in the heart of our mission field, literally "seeking their welfare" by stocking and building their school's library. There are hundreds of books waiting in boxes and shelves ready to be assembled, and through our work, the students can have their library at hand. We'll provide lunch, and along the way, it's a great chance to get to know "City folk" as we live on mission together!
Our hope is to build a strong relationship with the folks at Nash, as well as with other schools in the area, and this is a great first step into that, showing we love them, care about them, and aren't just "serving them to convert them," but rather we're serving them because we know and love Jesus and our city.
PLEASE LET US KNOW YOU'RE COMING - REPLY ON FACEBOOK HERE OR ON OUR ONLINE NETWORK HERE [and no "maybe's"]!
