The Power of Touch

,
This year we are engaging the needs in our community in ways that really matter; we are letting people know without a doubt that Providence loves and cares for its neighbors. The goal is for each of us to reach out and serve three ministries in our community between May and November–that’s only three acts of service in 6 months. We have provided information on opportunities with our Mission partners but if you find a need in our community that you can fill, don’t be limited by the list… simply touch the life of someone in need and let them know Providence Church loves them! 
In order to make efforts measurable we have a 500-piece puzzle; each time you touch or serve a ministry, you initial a piece of the puzzle. If you’ve ever put a puzzle together, you know that every single piece matters. It’s going to take all of us touching lives in our community to complete the puzzle so…whose life are you going to touch with the love of Jesus?

Exciting progress is being made in Griffin, so plan to be a part of of the home builds this summer! SFM homes are “a hand up, not a hand out,” because qualified homeowners: participate in building their home; have a steady job history and the ability to pay a zero-interest mortgage, taxes and insurance on their home; build equity which can help break the cycle of poverty; provide a safe, stable home environment for their family; develop pride of ownership which lifts up the entire neighborhood.
