SEPTEMBER OUTREACH FOCUS: HELPING HANDS

CROSS OF GLORY’S HELPING HANDS PROGRAM

We know there are people that occasionally need help to get them through the rough patches of life.  Cross of Glory’s Helping Hands program meets the needs of those closest to home – people right here in our own community.  Past helping hands disbursements have provided food, lodging, transportation and other supports to meet urgent and unique needs.  Unlike most non-profit organizations that provide assistance or service to others, there are no administrative expenses associated with our program.  Therefore, any money designated to Helping Hands goes directly to those who truly need a helping hand.

In addition to monetary support, we also are in need of people to provide Helping Hands support in other ways.  Can you drive someone to a medical appointment or buy groceries for someone who is housebound?  Can you walk a dog for someone who can’t?  If you are able to offer your time or services, please make Pastor Mike aware of your availability.  The need is real, and so is our support.  Please consider being an active participant in our Helping Hands program.

Also, if you or someone you know has a special need, please complete a Helping Hands card available in the narthex or contact Pastor Mike to make a request.  All assistance from the Helping Hands program is kept confidential.  Don’t hesitate to be a part of Cross of Glory’s Helping Hands program – either as a provider or as a recipient.  Helping Hands has become a significant part of our congregation’s outreach ministry since its inception in 2011.  Thank you for your loving concern for others.
