Join us for food, fellowship, and meet some new friends. Sponsors are needed for our biweekly Neighborhoo Community Meals. See the note under Regular Needs to learn how to sponsor a meal. Look at the Hyaets calendar on our Home Page and see when our next community meal is taking place.
We have been overwhelmed at the support and encouragement we have received from you lately. We are happy to announce that due to the commitment and dedication of several women, we have launched the Christian Women's Job Corps mentorship program. Several neighborhood women have been partnered with Hyaets supporters so that together they may grow in discipleship, friendship, and share resources with one another. If you are interested in becoming a partner in this program please contact Jason.
Please be in prayer as we make new steps together in community and in ministry. Please pray for our upcoming summer events, interns, and visiting groups. Pray that we will have the rest we need in order to prepare for what lies ahead. Pray that we will continue to discern our sense of calling and what it means to be community for one another.
See our Current Needs List which also includes a list of group project needs (possible mission trip opportunities for your church group, business, or organizaiton!)
1 How to be a community meal sponsor: Call Helms at 704.392.2346 to see what dates are available. Community meals are almost always on the first and third Fridays of each month except for the summer when they are once a month. The meal is served at 6pm. We ask sponsors to arrive no later than 5:30pm to set up the meal. Sponsors are asked to bring all items necessary for the meal including paper goods, ice, drinks, food, etc. We suggest bringing enough food for 30 neighbors plus the sponsoring volunteers/families. The meal begins with set up. Neighbors will help to serve the meal. Sponsors are asked to join in eating and fellowshipping with neighbors. After we’ve eaten and had time to hang out, we’ll clean up together. Community Meals typically last until 7:30pm. This includes the clean up time. If the weather is nice, the meal will be outside. If not, we’ll go indoors. The location of the meal rotates between the Parkway and Tuckaseegee Houses. Once sponsors have unloaded supplies, they are encouraged to park in the gravel parking lot across from the Parkway house or in the Bette Rae Thomas Recreation Center parking lot.
