Missions Monday: Buck Run Teams Serve Local Ministries and Frankfort Single Moms
On July 29th, Buck Run teams were sent out as a part of our Serve Frankfort Ministry. 130 adults and children spent their Saturday morning cleaning Avenues for Women, Frankfort’s crisis pregnancy center. Avenues for Women Another team weeded, planted, and mulched flower beds at the Simon House. The Simon House is a nonprofit transitional living facility for homeless adult women who are pregnant or have children. Our church loves these ministries we are grateful for opportunities these to support them in their efforts to care for the people of Frankfort.
A Serve Frankfort team also went to Second Street Elementary where they helped prepare the campus for the impending return of the student body. We are grateful for the staff at Second Street for letting us come and serve and especially for their invest in the education of our city’s children.
The largest Serve Frankfort team stayed on campus and facilitated an event for the area’s single moms. This annual back to school event, coordinated by our Single Mom’s Ministry, saw 140 kids receive clothes, shoes, and school supplies. Volunteers were able to spend time with each mom to hear their story, proclaim the Good News to them, and pray for them.
What Can I do now?
