Caring for Friends

Meal Delivery Drivers Needed (rotational)

Once a month, a team makes meals in the kitchen. After a few months, they accumulate, and to make room in our church freezer, they need to be packaged and delivered to the warehouse in NE Philadelphia on Townsend Road. Generally, deliveries are made every 2 to 3 months. We are looking for a few additional drivers to be on that rotational delivery schedule. Packaging the meals into boxes and then driving and dropping them off and returning to the church with more supplies generally takes less than 2 hours. It can be completed on your own schedule; the warehouse is open 9-4 on weekdays. We currently have 3 drivers. A few more would mean we'd rotate and each would deliver two times a year. If you're interested and would like more information, please contact Lisa Pitts.

College & Young Adult Online Small Group

We are working on starting up a small group for college age/young adults who will meet online, Wednesday evenings from 6:00 - 7:00 pm. *This group will begin once we have at least 5+ people signed up. Stay tuned for the start date. The reason we are going the online route is so that we all can get together no matter where we are in the world (e.g., college, living out-of-state, or right here in Doylestown, but you don’t want to leave your house). Our meetings will include video-based studies and discussion about topics that are relevant to real life. Adulting is hard, but life is better when we figure it out together. We hope you will check out this group and grow together in the community. If you would like to join us, or if you have any questions, please contact Pastor Paul.

When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze." Isaiah 43: 1b-2
