Serve In The Local Community


Missions in our backyard...making a difference in our community.

I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. Matthew 25:37-40
 

In response to Jesus' command to "meet the needs of the least of these," you are invited to put your faith into action in our community. A variety of opportunities to love and serve are available! To the homeless, the hungry, the working poor, the sick, the lonely, the elderly, the young, and those in prison, you can be the love of Christ!  

So many are hungry for His touch, His love, his smile. And others can experience that through you! Helping host homeless families in our facility, building a Habitat home, making bedrolls for the homeless, and feeding the hungry are just a few of the many ways you can serve! Whether you want a one-time experience or an ongoing commitment, there are many opportunities to be a living example of God’s grace and mercy.

For more information about any of the Opportunities to Serve, call the Missions Office, 884-6108, or Michelle at 884-6111.

FEED MY STARVING CHILDREN

Feed My Starving Children is a non-profit Christian organization committed to feeding God's starving children.  Each meal is carefully put together and costs about 15 cents apiece. 94% of total donations go directly to the feeding program.

First Pres will host a Feed My Starving Children Food Packing Event for Colorado Springs on Thursday, August 19, Friday, August 20, and Saturday, August 21 so we can be the hands and heart of the Lord to children around the world.

This is a GREAT way for a family to serve together.  Children ages 5-8 can serve with a parent; if a child is over 8, he/she can pack independently. 

To Register:                                                                 

Sign up now for a two hour packing session by Clicking Here.

We ask each volunteer to consider donating $39 to cover most of the cost of the meals they pack.  Financial contributions allow FMSC to purchase ingredients.
