Strong foster, adoptive & kinship families are needed for providing safe, loving homes for children in crisis. On average, 50% of foster families quit within the first year, but when supported by volunteers from a local church, 90% continue beyond the one-year mark. Care Communities support these families in practical, hands-on ways, helping them to know they are not alone in their parenting journey. This support can look like meals, care packages, notes of encouragement, play dates, mentoring, help with yard work, etc. Care Communities are a great opportunity for small groups to serve together! If you would like to be a part of supporting one of these local families caring for vulnerable children, please sign up to receive more information.
We will prepare and serve the community dinner for the downtown homeless or formally homeless community. This is the community dinner facilitated by Micah Ecumenical Ministries. Dinner is served from 4-5:30 pm at the Fredericksburg Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall which is accessed from the Charles St parking lot behind the church, across from the Truist Bank parking lot. Wear closed-toe shoes and plan to stay the entire time to help with clean-up. Children are welcome but I do not recommend bringing children under 4 or 5.
Join us as we pack hygiene blessing bags for patients at Fredericksburg Christian Health Center (FCHC). Each bag will include essential toiletries and encouraging notes, sharing Christ's love tangibly. Please, if you feel comfortable, leave your phone number and/or Email to keep you in the loop with updates for this project. Important note about sign-ups: When you sign up for this outreach, the system reserves a volunteer spot specifically for you. If your plans change and you’re unable to attend, please remove your name as soon as possible. Even though our leadership team will still carry out the project, keeping unused spots reserved prevents others from serving their community. Releasing your spot allows someone else to step in and be part of the outreach. Thank you for being mindful and helping create space for everyone who feels called to serve 🤍
Join us as we knock on doors in the Mayfield community as a group and hand out gift bags, resources, bibles, sweet treats & more! We will spread kindness, offer prayer, and invite them to our official launch for the mayfield adopt-a-block monthly cookout fellowship at the local park in April.
