There are plenty of opportunities to join us in serving
those in
our community. Below are some of the ways we serve:
- Each year, for one
week in January, we open our church
doors to the
homeless in Hampton. We provide them a nutritious dinner, a
place
to sleep, and a hot breakfast. We typically serve between 80
and 100 people each night. Our next week will be in early January 2012. You may sign-up on-line
or in the Commons.
- On the second Saturday
of each month, we prepare bag
lunches for the homeless in Hampton.
- After church on April 17, 2011, we prepared
10,000 meals as part of the Stop Hunger Now program.
- We support the Habitat
for
Humanity
program on the Peninsula with financial
support and
with our time and talents. In January 2010, we finished
building a
home
near the War Memorial baseball stadium in Hampton. We will are
building another home, which we hope to complete in October 2012.
- Financially, we
support the larger Presbyterian church with
our unified mission giving. These funds support the Presbyterian
missionaries, camps, seminaries, and other programs. We also
provide support for several local organizations, such as the Downtown
Hampton Child
Development Center, the Hampton Ecumenical Lodgings and Provisions (HELP), and the Peninsula
Pastoral Counseling Center.
- We open our doors to
local community programs such as child
wellness checks, Relay for Life, Boy Scout Troop 29, and
provide space for Alcoholics Anonymous to meet.
- On April 26, 2009 we
had
our first Faith@Work
day. We came to church
dressed for work as we departed to our work sites immediately
after
church. Our next Faith@Work day
will be on October 23, 2012.
- We periodically support families who can no longer
take
care of their homes by doing yard work or minor home repair.
Most
of our referrals come from the Hampton
City Codes office, the Peninsula Agency on Aging, Habitat
for Humanity's A Brush with Kindness program,
or similar agencies.
