Do You Need Help with Housework or Yardwork?

Every year, church members and families partner with Campus Outreach to help get our students to the Campus Outreach New Year's Conference. The Lord has used this annual conference in many different ways and we would hate for our students to miss out because of finances. Help a UNCC student get to the Campus Outreach New Year's Conference by hiring one to come help you with anything around your house! If you are interested, contact Abby Minnick at [email protected] or 201-669-9618.

 

Immediate Need: American Heritage Girls!

We have 75 excited girls participating in American Heritage Girls (AHG) this year, our third year! While this is very exciting, we now need more women who can lead small groups and minister to our girls as they learn how to become "women of integrity through service to God, family, community, and country." Our year has already started and we have girls waiting for leaders. 25% of our girls are from Christ Covenant Church. We must have two AHG registered adults in each room to meet our "two-deep" leadership structure.

Leader Needs: Middle school/high school (2 leaders), grades 4-6 (2 leaders), grades 1-3 (1 leader), kindergarten (1 leader).

No experience necessary, all training provided. Troop 0800 meets weekly on Thursday nights, 6:45-8:15 PM. For more information, contact Jenny Blackmon or Tiffany Slack, troop coordinators, at [email protected].

The GriefShare program will not have a session this fall. Our next session is scheduled for the spring and we will announce it in our E-Courier and on the Grief Ministry page of our website.
