Super Mission Saturday...Round 2!

On Saturday, September 13 we had a great work day with Auburn Wesley Foundation and Cornerstone Church. This was our second Super Mission Saturday with Auburn Wesley Foundation, and Cornerstone's first work day with us this fall! Our volunteers worked at three sites. The pictures tell the story of the incredible service they provided to these communities.

Thank you so much to our volunteers. We hope to see you return to serve with ARM again! If you or your church is interested in serving with us for a weekend, contact us at info@arm-al.org.


Who are the "poor"? Have you ever considered how your perception of poverty affects the way you serve those typically defined as "poor"? ARM was asking these kinds of questions at the Catapult Conference at Cornerstone Church in Auburn, AL, ... Continue reading here...�

My Jerusalem: October 11

Poverty Awareness Week:
 October 18 - 25

Are you ready?? It's almost time for ARM's annual fundraiser.....the SHACK! 

 

Also known as Poverty Awareness Week, during the week of October 18-25, our director Lisa Pierce will be living in a 5x10 house on wheels on the Auburn Wesley Foundation front lawn to encourage people to join our vision to end sub-standard housing in rural Alabama. We will also be hosting several luncheons at Auburn University on different topics regarding rural poverty on October 21, 22, and 23. 

 

How can you participate? Here are just a few ways...

 

1. Stop by the Auburn Wesley Foundation to visit Lisa and talk about how to help address poverty in your community and beyond!

 

2. Bring your kids to decorate the shack and learn about helping others!

 

3. Sign up to stay in the SHACK for 4-hour time slots. Look for more info coming soon!

 

4. Click here to make a donation to support ARM's ministry and get Lisa out of the SHACK!

 

 

 


Be A Saint Saturday


Instead of our annual Make A Difference Day, this year, due to football conflicts, we have changed the date and created a new ARM tradition...Be A Saint Saturday (BASS)!

 

On November 1st, ARM will host BASS, a home repair work day to serve with families in Lee County. We will meet at Auburn United Methodist Church at 8am to start work. Bring your family, friends, and church members to participate.

 

It's the best of both worlds...support your team in Auburn or Tuskegee, and be a saint by lending a helping hand in your community!

 

Contact becky@arm-al.org if you or your church would like to participate. Details to come soon.  

 

We also are looking for some creative volunteers to help plan Be A Saint Saturday. Let us know what you could help with:

  • Sending publicity statements to local newspapers/radio/social media
  • Finding a devotional speaker
  • Developing a scriptural theme for the day
  • Finding corporate sponsors (local businesses that could donate a minimum of $50 to support BASS)
Easy Tips on Serving our Neighbors

We don't have to go very far to serve our neighbor. In fact, how many of us really know our true neighbors: those who live across the street or next door? We easily go on one or two week mission ... Continue reading here...�
