May Mission of the Month – 2019

Self help. Haven’t we all heard the term? Sure, we are supposed to take care of ourselves so we may have the energy to help others. So, for our May Mission of the month we decided to help ourselves by giving our church grounds a much needed grooming. We have a wonderful gentleman who mows, edges, and trims bushes for us, but we needed to weed the flower beds, plant some flowers, paint the railings, and add mulch all around to keep the ground from drying out so fast.

Below are pictures of our special work day on May 11. We were treated to hot dogs, chips, drinks, and sweets by Julie and Phillip Booker. It was a pleasant day to be together as a community by caring for the building and grounds we love. It is our hope that its welcoming beauty will be noticed by all who pass by.

Being a mother is a precious gift but being a mother and having to leave your home to find a haven must be the worst possible scenario.  Wise Hope Shelter and Crisis Center is that haven in Wise County.

Celebrating Mother’s Day in a shelter is sad, especially if the children are not with the mother.  For our April Mission of the Month we gathered items like facials, soothing lotions, hair accessories, nail polishes, devotionals, journals, pens, etc.  These items were put together in special baskets and given to the mothers who were staying at the shelter on Mother’s Day.

Thank you all so much.
