A Sabbatical Pilgrimage Quotation:
"In the morning light, O God, may I glimpse again your image deep within me, the threads of glory woven into the fabric of every man and woman. Again, may I catch sight of the mystery of the human soul fashioned in your likeness, deeper than knowing, more enduring than time."
-- J Philip Newell |
Agape Community Center
Through the Missions Budget, Northside Drive contributes to more than 25 agencies and organizations. This is the second in a series of articles that will spotlight some of the groups where our mission dollars are at work.
Celebrating its 15th year of service, Agape Community Center empowers and supports economically disadvantaged families in Northwest Atlanta. Agape's tutoring and mentoring programs serve 120-175 elementary through high school students each day. The lives of senior citizens and disabled adults are enriched through the RagTime Program that provides informative programs, field trips, arts and crafts, and physical fitness activities.
Agape's Extreme Bedroom Makeover!
A Service Project
Fridays and Saturdays March 30 & 31 and April 27 & 28
Northside Drive is currently involved with Agape in redecorating children's bedrooms in low income housing in the Bolton Road and Marietta Road communities. The first makeover was March 30 & 31 with volunteers painting, assembling new bunk beds and decorating the room. The 14 and 8 year old brother and sister were most excited about their new study desks.
Volunteers are needed for the second makeover on April 27 & 28. If you would like to participate in this rewarding activity, email Mike Gregg at mike@northsidedrive.org.
