Watts Street on Mission 2017!

April 19, 2017

On Saturday, May 20, join us for a dynamic, inter-generational, congregation-wide, hands-on day of service working through our ongoing Mission Groups and Mission Partners.  We have 10 different project sites this year and you can sign up beginning April 30 (at the Beach Retreat).   We invite all Watts Streeters to participate as we “use our gifts to serve God and neighbor”!

  • Ellerbe Creek Trail Cleanup – Pick up litter on the trail and in the creek bed
  • Families Moving Forward – Organize the FMF donations “store”
  • Fellowship Hall Projects – Assemble “Blast Off to Kindergarten” kits, make cards for homebound friends, send greetings to our sister church in El Salvador, tie baby blankets, stock “blessing bags” for homeless, etc.
  • Habitat for Humanity – Help with a Habitat house build
  • Meals on Wheels – Prepare sandwiches that will be frozen and delivered in coming months to senior adults with limited mobility
  • Nursing Homes – Visit and sing with residents
  • Prison Ministry – Create a liturgical banner and make cards for women imprisoned at The Raleigh Center
  • Reality Ministries – Join friends from Reality Ministries for a Reality Works candle making inventory push
