“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23
Greeters and ushers serve visitors, guests, and church family alike, helping each person to find a place that meets their needs, offering a program, and a warm welcome. Our purpose is to serve those in attendance and to exemplify the fruit of the Spirit to everyone that enters our doors. From assisting with golf carts in the parking lot, entry doors, and welcome desks, become a part of this vital ministry.
Meet twice a month on Mondays beginning at 9:30 AM in Room 231 on the second floor of the Children's Wing. Follow the calendar for dates. Open to everyone, we are working on walker totes for the nursing home on 33rd street, positive bags for the Hope Pregnancy Center, lap quilts, baby quilts, and tote bags for foster care. For questions and more information, contact Barbara Dooley, 405-620-6903, jbldooley@cox.net.
Recently Edmond’s First Sewing Ministry is “On Mission” as we shared 12”x12” comfort pillows with nursing homes and elementary schools. The size allows individuals to sit and hold the pillow and are good for when someone is feeling sad or just needs something to hang onto. When school children are feeling sad, they will grab a pillow and go to a safe place in the classroom.
Offer to mow a yard, baby sit, house sit, rake leaves or fix a shared fence. Help someone move in or work on a vehicle. Be there for single parents who may need help taking kids to different communities. Pick up tree limbs, debris or trash. Take someone a meal or dessert. Plan a park day for kids. Learn more:
