American Cancer Society Relay For Life – Catonsville

Update: Congrats on raising nearly $1500 for ACS!


The American Cancer Society – Relay for Life, Catonsville, is June 11th, 2011. Come represent Fusion Fellowship Church! If you’ve never done this before, Relay for Life is an ACS fundraiser. Participants raise donations before the event. The Relay is an all-night gala, done in shifts (6pm-6am). No, you don’t have to run. Yes, we will have canopies and, with any luck, a fantastic time.

Why participate?

  • This is a great opportunity for us to raise money for a good cause.
  • Participation in Catonsville Relay for Life allows FFC to be a part of our community. There is no telling what opportunities we might get. Think of all the strangers you might bump into, the stories you might hear. When you ask why someone else is there, you’ll hear stories about cancer survival, cancer loss. You’ll meet other folks in the community and, who knows, they might just ask you why you are participating!
  • Relay for Life is an event which lends itself to a wide range of our church-goers – single, married, and married with kids! We will have several canopies and can schedule a couple of evening shifts for fun/games/picnic/etc.

“Oh, it’s that Relay for Life thing. That’s not for me.” Actually, it IS for you. Yes, cancer does touch us all. But we have an opportunity to strengthen our church, our sense of community. Join your fellow Fusion church attendees at the Community College of Baltimore County, Catonsville (CCBC). Hope to see you there!

Date: June 11 @ 6:00pm -> June 12 @ 6:00am.
Where: Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) Catonsville Campus

Help Portrait – December 4th

Help Portrait - December 4, 2010Charm City Church of Baltimore is hosting Help Portrait again this year. Help Portrait is a global movement of photographers who use their time, gear, and expertise to provide portraits to those in need.

At Charm City Church in inner-city Baltimore, professional (and well equipped hobbyist) photographers will take quality photos and editors will perform rudimentary touch-ups (training provided) and print the pictures. We would like to have a makeup artist on hand. A small army of hosts will be needed to greet, direct, feed, and converse with the guests. The coordinators suspect ~30 volunteers will be needed in addition to the photographers.

Where might you fit in?

We need greeters and hosts, food preparers and servers, and a handful of people just to talk to the guests, if that is your thing. In addition, if you have a laptop, you can be a photo editor. Are you a photographer? A makeup artist? If you are interested in participating, please email missions@fusionfellowship.org.

Mike Stog has put together a flier for us. A copy of Mike’s flier can be found here.

DC Stop Modern Slavery Walk

Fusion Fellowship Church is participating in the DC stop modern slavery walk / fundraiser. Think human trafficking isn’t a problem? Think again! Read up at the Polaris Project, first what the problem is and second, how bad it is. Post-walk events include performances and speakers addressing topics ranging from restoration of victims to awareness. As Christians we must ask ourselves, “What role should we, the church, play?”
