Homeless Initiative

On Saturday, December 14th, several members of the Young Adults Ministry joined forces to meet the needs of the homeless in the Hardeeville area. They put together care packages which included blankets, emergency meal kits, food boxes and gender specific essential items along with bagged groceries to give out to the homeless. It was the first attempt and a successful one. Leaders of the church accompanied the young adults and ministered to many sharing the love of Jesus Christ. Plans for the next initiative is underway with hopes to reach more people each time. Here are some photos taken during the event.
