Mitten Tree

During Advent, we invite you to bring new hats, mittens, scarves and socks to be given to our location mission partners to help families in need stay warm this winter.  The tree will be located in the children’s wing entry beginning in December.


 

Community Quilting

Come and join us while we use our talents to bring warmth to others! The quilting group is for anyone interested in learning the art of quilting. Bring your project to work on and participate in creating community service quilts for babies, nursing homes, soldiers, Youth for Tomorrow, and other organizations. There are also special presentations, community quilting projects, and field trips to quilt stores.  Contact Lisa to learn more, bikelshouse@gmail.com.

Campus Stewards & Home Projects

Greenwich is blessed with dedicated volunteers as Campus Stewards, whose donations of time, skill, and energy help to offset some of our maintenance costs. We also do minor home maintenance, cleanup, groundskeeping, and repair projects for members of the community in need, when they cannot physically accomplish what is needed in their home. 

 

Prayer Team

The starting point for our mission efforts is acknowledging that God is in control. Every member of our church is called to turn our hearts and our minds toward the Lord in prayer. Check out our Prayer Page for prayer resources and information about our daily Zoom Prayer Team and Prayer Warrior Email List.

Blessing Bags

We prepare hundreds of gift bags each year for homeless men and women, victims of domestic abuse, and others in need.  Blessing bags are prepared by small groups from Greenwich and delivered by the Good News Community Kitchen.  The bags contain hygiene products, food gift cards, along with seasonal needs such as socks, hats, gloves and hand/toe warmers.  Each bag always holds a Gospel of John. Through this ministry we seek to be the hands of Jesus, putting His love into action. If you are interested in participating with us, see Diana, dianakv@verizon.net.

Woodchucks

Splitting, delivering, & stacking wood for members of the community in need.  Contact church office for more information or to get involved:  office@greenwichpres.org
