If you’ve ever wondered what serving in the Inner City is all about, the perfect opportunity awaits you this weekend! Grace is partnering with Charm City Church to launch the first-ever Baltimore Building Bridges project. Charm City church will host three projects this coming Saturday, April 25th from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Participants should sign up at uservecentral and plan to meet at Grace on Saturday morning to kick-off before coming to Charm City.

Charm City Projects include:

Community Clean-up: We’ll be cleaning several blocks that surround both the church and our local Elementary school that we will be partnering with.
Clothing Giveaway: Help us distribute clothing to our neighbors in need. Clothing will be seasonal and each guest will leave with 2 nice outfits! We’ll be distributing women’s, men’s and children’s clothes, along with shoes, hats and rain ponchos!
Samuel B. Morse Painting Project: We’ll be painting the cafeteria of the local elementary school that we’ve just partnered with. This team will be responsible for making the cafeteria more student friendly!

We’re praying for 30 fusionites to join us on Saturday to help make a difference in our community, will YOU join us?

MetroKidz Prayer Team and Friday Nights!

February 20, 2009 By colleensamantha Leave a Comment

Hey friends!

We’re still looking for a few more committed volunteers to help launch our Friday Night Teen Ministry! This is the perfect opportunity for people who are interested in volunteering, but can’t commit to Wednesday evenings or people who can’t commit many hours per month. The commitment is 7 hours per month, two Fridays a month. If you’d like more details, please contact Colleen Smith (colleen@metrokidzbaltimore.org)

If you’re looking for something with even less of a time commitment, then please consider joining our MetroKidz Prayer team. An important part of our ministry is prayer and without constant prayer nothing can be accomplished. We welcome prayer partners are in the process of putting together a prayer team. Team members would recieve a weekly email with our prayer requests, for our young people, our ministry and our volunteers. We’re asking our prayer partners to commit to praying for our ministry 15 minutes per day. If you’re interested in becoming a prayer partner please contact Colleen Smith (colleen@metrokidzbaltimore.org).
