How Can You Help?
This crisis is a huge opportunity for you to share God’s love with people in need. Discover how you can volunteer your time, talents, or treasures to help those affected by COVID-19.
Care
Volunteer your time by being a Caller or a Partner.
Callers
Engage with people on the phone who have been affected by the virus. You can be a listening ear, provide encouragement, understand supply needs, and pray for affected individuals.
Mask Makers
Can you sew? You can save lives! One of the growing needs in our community is the need for masks for our nurses and healthcare workers. Many healthcare facilities do not have enough personal protective equipment for one shift, let alone a COVID-19 outbreak.
Partners
Supplies which are dropped off at the church will be provided to our partners to distribute them into those who have needs in the community. You can sign up to deliver supplies to people in need by partnering with our sister organizations. If you want to serve in this capacity, determine the closest organization and connect with them in order to serve.

The most important tool that God has given us is the ability to seek His counsel, wisdom, and peace. We can do this for ourselves and others through prayer.
Suggested Prayers:
Pray for Individuals who are sick and vulnerable:
Therefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you maybe healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. -James 5:16
Pray for government, healthcare officials and workers:
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly, and dignified in every way. -1 Timothy 2:1-2
Pray for people to seek God for answers:
I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose -Isaiah 46:9c-10
Pray against fear:
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. -John 14:27
