Code Purple Firefly Cleanup for the Community 2019
If you signed up for the Firefly Project on June 24, just remember it’s right around the corner! Also, remember to wear closed toe shoes and water to stay hydrated. (We’ll have some too; but be prepared!)
What is the Firefly Project?
We work to help the homeless in the greater Dover area and love partnering with other organizations that serve the homeless and others in need. Three years ago, we began to work with the people who put on Firefly to collect many of the items left behind after the festival that can be useful to the homeless and facilitate donations to places like the Food Bank. (Check out an article on it with some great pictures here.)
Convoy of Hope 2019
Help us help get ready for the Community at a Convoy of Hope event in Dover this summer! On June 15, those involved in Convoy will begin a flyer campaign throughout Dover to let people know. People will meet at Calvary at 9:45 in the Education Bldg and spend about 2 hours distributing flyers around Dover.
What is Convoy?
A Convoy of Hope Community Event is a united act of compassion that helps families in need. Local churches, businesses, community service and health organizations partner together to provide guests with groceries, medical and dental screenings, prayer, haircuts, lunch, veteran services, music, a kids’ carnival, children’s shoes, job and career services, community services, family portraits and more—at no charge to guests.
Dover is scheduled to host an event this summer (July 13) and there will be many opportunities to help before the event and on the day of the event.
Here’s a video giving you an idea of what will be going on:
Missions Update
We’re privileged to be part of what God is doing around the world. Jeff mentioned a particular missions project this past Sunday. While we can’t post details online, we did want to give you the opportunity to support it online. A portion of all offerings goes to missions projects around the world. When you support Deep Water, you support these projects. If the the current project interests you, you can give online here. Just mark it missions.
If you use text to give (84321), add the keyword missions to your giving (for example: $20 missions). And remember, you can always use the Church Center App.
