Activities

Our activities are summed up in our motto of reaching and teaching.

Vacation Bible School Our annual VBS is one of our primary ministries and serves as both a teaching ministry for our congregation’s children and as a reaching ministry for children in our community.  We fill a niche with our VBS by offering it all day Saturday and then either Friday evening or Sunday morning.  This allows families that cannot participate in a traditional week-long VBS to have the opportunity to experience VBS.  This schedule also creates an immersion environment that we hope will stay with the children longer.  Watch our website for announcements and details about our next VBS.

Hospice Food Pantry Our members contribute to a food pantry that is part of Hospice of the Piedmont’s service to its patients and families.  Many of the patients that become part of hospice do not have the funds to provide adequate food for themselves and family members.  We help provide that food by bringing single-serving food items to services that are then delivered to Hospice of the Piedmont in High Point.  We have been contributing to this ministry for many years.

Prison Ministry As a congregation we financially and spiritually support a female inmate of the women’s prison in Rocky Mount.  Our sister is a single mother with family that can not help her financially.  Our members are encouraged to write to her and pray for her.  The congregation provides a small monthly amount along with other funds as they are needed.

Care Packages We provide care packages for any of our students who are in college and for other college students that we “adopt.”  These packages are sent once in the fall and again in the spring and are a source of encouragement and a reminder that they are missed.

Operation Christmas Child For many years we have participated in Samaritan Purse’s Operation Christmas Child.  Shoe boxes are filled and dropped off at services on a designated Sunday in mid-November.  The shoe boxes are then delivered to an official Samaritan’s Purse drop-off site.
