'Salt and Light' Opp

At Hope Place

From Bobby Caliendo

Minister of Outreach & Evangelism

Hope Place is an emergency shelter (1340 Wright Street, Holly Hill) that houses 120 residents, half of whom are children. Some residents are former foster children who have aged out of the system. 

The Riverbend ministry goal is to lovingly meet physical needs while attempting to share the Gospel. Sarah's Circle, sponsor for this ministry, is asking Riverbenders to consider donating items and/or their time. 

Items needed include sheets (both twin and double), bed bug covers (twin or double), laundry sacks, towels, washcloths, dishes, laundry soap, cleaning supplies, bleach, Tilex, pots, pans, plates, silverware, cooking utensils. Other needs include: serving dinner (5-7 p.m.), moving residents (need trucks), pressure-washing sidewalks, tutoring students. 

All individuals and families (including children) may participate.  A collection basket for donated items is located near the Bookcart throughout May.

Riverbend Academy is seeking to hire committed Christian men or women who desire to teach in a Godly, academically excellent and loving environment. 

 

We are hiring new teachers for Latin, Spanish, some K through 6th openings, and some upper school and core subjects. If interested, please continue reading and submit an application. 

 

All teachers at Riverbend Academy are required to have and share a personal testimony of Biblical faith in Jesus Christ and must demonstrate an understanding of and commitment to Christian living. It is not required that applicants have a current and thorough understanding of classical philosophy and pedagogies, but such is definitely preferred and will be taught and furthered as part of training here. 

 

If you want to be considered, please contact Stephen Collins (call 386-615-0986 or click here ).
