// ENGAGE the World for Christ
Food Pantry Needs – Our food supplies are very low. Please remember to add bags of rice, jars of peanut butter, boxed dinners, macaroni & cheese, boxed cereal & canned vegetables to your shopping cart as you buy your own groceries to help restock our shelves. Help us show the love of Christ to over 350 families in our community. Food donations may be dropped off in the collection bins located in the Gallery. Contact Aubrey Cooper – aubrey@faithnc.org or 919-556-3420 //139 for more info.
Annual Young Adult Retreat ~ March 2nd – 5th in PA. We’ll encourage our church planters in Harrisburg, serve in a local school, learn to live “on mission”, see a hockey game, and fellowship with other Young Adults. The trip is $45, plus a meal on your own ($60 for married couples). Don’t let cost be a factor; contact Walter@faithnc.org to discuss options!
Engage Follow-Up ~ Plan to join us on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 to follow up with guests that visit on Sunday mornings, as well as guests who attend our Engage events. Contact Aubrey Cooper – aubrey@faithnc.org or 919-556-3420 //139 for more info.
Church Planting ~ is how we utilize our core values and resources to take the Gospel to start brand new churches in some of the least reached regions of our country and the world. Pray for the Morrisons and Shays pouring out their lives in PA, for “vision trips” exploring PA this Spring, and new potential places to plant churches.
