February 11, 8:30 a.m., at Crossroads Ministry Center: You can make a difference in the life of others! There are projects for every age and ability! Projects we’re working on: Wood Ministry No experience necessary! We’ll train! If you enjoy the great outdoors, this project is for you! We cut, split, and stack wood. We also deliver split wood to community members who burn wood to heat their homes. Wear work clothes for the weather and bring work gloves. Pillowcase Ministry Santa Rich needs our help making pillowcases to handout at Christmas! This project is for those who can sew and non-sewers alike! We need folks to iron, fold, and place completed pillowcases in a bag with a printed prayer. If you can sew or would like to learn how to sew pillowcases, we need you! No experience is necessary, just a heart to help others in our community. If you have any questions concerning Second Saturday, please contact Judy Kraft at 740-653-3330 or at judykraft@love-first.org.

We want to support our families as they grow in faith. If you are able to provide childcare for Crossroads Community, we need your help. Crossroads Community meets each Tuesday, 6:30-7:30 pm so it’s just 1 hour/week or could be shared so that it’s just 1 hour/month. This is an investment in our children as we provide their family with a place to grow in their faith while their children are nurtured. A background check will be needed. If you can help once a week or once a month, please reach out to Pastor Amy at amywood@love-first.org
