Holiday Hugs From Helping Hands
There are so many needs in our community (St. Johns County) this Christmas season. An easy way for you and your family to help is to adopt a child from the St. Johns Homeless Coalition or a man or woman from the St. Francis House. The Tree of Helping Hands will be here at FCC from now until Dec 2nd. Stop by and fulfill someones Christmas wish.

Prayer Emphasis: Breaking Down the Walls! (Joshua 6)
Sunday, August 24th – Saturday, August 30th
Sunday-Friday: STOP at 7 o’clock (am or pm) and pray – join us at the property on CR 210 if you can. Prayer guides are provided. You can pick yours up at church or at the property during the designated prayer times.
Saturday (8/30): From noon til 7 pm, we’ll have 7 hrs of continuous prayer at the church building. Prayer stations will be set up throughout the building. For the last hour (6-7 pm) we’ll have a time for everyone to join together for prayer, celebration…and we’ll even try marching around the building 7 times (bring down SPIRITUAL walls, not physical walls!)
April 26th from 9am-12pm we will be at the Betty Griffin House Thrift Store cleaning and organizing donations as they come in. The store is located in Julington Creek at the Plantation Plaza, 616 S.R. 13 North (1/2 mile south of Racetrack Road). This is a FAMILY FRIENDLY service project. It is like a chore day at home. You can hang clothes, organize toys and books, collect unused hangers (my personal favorite), clean the bathroom and dressing rooms and sweep. There will be work for all ages. After 12 pm feel free to stay and work longer or join us at McDonalds for lunch.
Two teens and an adult from the church were able to join JCP CARES at their work day and cook out at the Homeless Coalition in St. Augustine on March 15th.
You can click on this link to see the article that The St. Augustine Record wrote regarding “Spring Cleaning Initiative”
http://staugustine.com/stories/031608/news_txt01_001.shtml.
JCP CARES was the lead story on page 1.
Those who went were blessed to give of themselves just by serving others in simple ways; power washing, painting and gardening.
Thank you to those who were involved in this work day and to JCP CARES for putting this event together.
Please keep posted. More opportunities to GET CONNECTED with your community are on the way.
