Volunteering, to Reach out!

Chris and I have been volunteering for some community roles so that we can get to know more people in the community of Landsdale.
1) Recently Chris has been the tball coach for the past three months, and it has opened doors for us to get to know people better as well as the church sponsored the team, so it got our church logo out there and made people aware of the fact that there was even a church in Landsdale.

2) I have accepted being the playgroup secretary this year. This is a volunteer position but, is giving me the opportunity to meet 60+ new families this year. It has been quite a bit of work, but I am praying that God will guide the harvest from this work and that many families in landsdale would become aware of our church and of the fact that THEY need Jesus.

3) We will also be volunteering in the schools to build relationships with the kids and teenagers. So, please pray for us as we seek God's will in what he wants us to do and carry out.

As we carry out these volunteer roles we still have our basic Work responsibilities that we need to carry out as well. Areas we are currently ministering in our church are the following.

1) Chris is still the pastor of the Landsdale church full time and carrying out his responsibilities this year.

2) Together we are directing and leading Kids Club as well as the full time teachers. This is by far our biggest way of getting to know people. We are praying that we will reach the 36 kid mark this year, and that Kids club will continue to grow and impact childrens lives for Christ.

3) Together we are running the Youth Centre. this is a weekly youth group meeting where we are trying to reach out to teens in the community. Please pray that we would be able to get the teens committed to Jesus Christ and to youth group on a constant basis where God can mold and grow their spiritual lives.

4) We are also offering Bible studies. Melissa is doing a teen girls bible study while Chris is doing a Bible study that is open to everyone in the church. Pray that we would get people in our church and in our community into these Bible study groups.


As we carry out these roles. Pray that Chris and I would listen to God's calling and follow his direction! We know he has so much in store for the 2011 year of the Landsdale Community Wesleyan Methodist Church.
