Newgate Needs
Men's Socks
We are in need of men's socks. Walking is the mode of transportation for most of our community members. They walk to the mission, to work, to the grocery store, and to where they stay at night. A pair of socks is our most requested item. The next time you are at the store, please consider purchasing a pair to donate!
Newgate will post the pictures of the smiles that are given when we can share with them the socks you give.
People can bring their socks to Becky Swearingen. Or if you drop some by the church office she will pick them up & deliver them to Newgate Mission.)
"This simple act will literally last for MILES!!!"

Buckner Needs Volunteers!
|
|
The Buckner Family Hope Center is looking for volunteers that are wanting to make a regular commitment engaging with our English as a Second Language students. Teaching ESL two times a week is a great way to invest in the women’s lives who are committed and eager to learn a new language. There is not a requirement for past teaching experience, or knowing Spanish. Some of the best ESL teachers don’t speak the same language, so don’t be hesitant of your own language skills! We are offering an ESL training for all volunteers in August to help our teachers gain more knowledge in how to help our clients better.
Right now, we have 80 students taking classes on Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday from 8:30-11 and 11:30-2. We would like to add another class to accommodate 70 more students off a waiting list. Buckner FHC is looking for 3 teachers. We are needing one teacher for a Monday/Wednesday class and two teachers for a Tuesday/Thursday class.
If you are interested, please contact the Church Office.
