Dinner for Homeless
New Generation Outreach
Sunday Afternoon, Feb 17  
Looking for a Service Opportunity?

  

New Generation is a local ministry in downtown Fredericksburg that ministers to the homeless street population, including providing a meal every Sunday afternoon followed by a Worship Service.   

 

Christ Covenant would like to help with a meal on 17 February 2013. We need to provide:  

1) A hot and hearty meal for 125 people (think a "Bob Evans" type foodl);  

2) A sack lunch (PBJs, fruit, chips, water) for 25 people;

3) Volunteers to prepare the venue (Mars Hill on Princess Anne St.), prepare plates, serve meals, and clean up afterwards.   

 

Meals are served from 3-4 PM with most of the volunteers needed a bit before 3 through clean up at about 4:30.  We need at least six people, preferrably 10, to meet this need.  This would be a 2 hour commitment on site.  Food preparation is separate.   

 

Our hope is to provide one meal through New Generation every two months.  There is much much more to this opportunity - including "how" we will provide the food.  If you would like to volunteer to assist with this opportunity as described...or...if you would like to assist with the food acquisition, preparation, or delivery, please contact Dean Northcutt at (858) 254-9442 or by email.  

 

Fill out our volunteer information form if you think you would be interested in helping out or making a donation!

Intended to equip lay people with a broad knowledge of the Christian Faith, we will use the Leadership Training Guide developed by the Evangelical Presbyterian Church for training of Elders.  Even if you never expect to serve as an Elder, you will benefit from this deep and systematic grounding in the faith.  It's a chance to study, learn and interact with others, to join with the Cloud of Witnesses who have run the race of faith before us.

How's Your Bible Reading Going?

Regardless of your Bible reading plan (or lack thereof), you probably had a general desire for your Bible reading to be better in 2013 than it was in 2012-to read more, to read more consistently, to read more thoughtfully, to read more passionately, and/or to better apply it to our daily life. So how's it going?

Maybe so far in 2013 your Bible reading hasn't gone according to plan; it hasn't increased or improved as you'd hoped. Let me suggest several possible reasons why Bible reading might feel weak and wearisome, and suggest some ways in which those weaknesses might be helped.
