The following letter to the community is from Jeanie McCoy:
Hello friends,
My Church, Timothy Lutheran is having a volunteer day on Sat. the 27th at different locations, I was put in charge of Impact Ministries to help get their new location ready at White Oak Shopping Center, and out of our large church only 7 signed up to help on my team, ( I was warned that Lutherans don't like to Paint!!!????, whoever heard of such a thing?) anyway Impact Ministires was told we would have 30 volunteers, (not by me). So if you or anyone you know would like to help the community and have some spare time Sat. the 27th from 9am to Noon, let me know. Looks like we will be painting etc., see below.
Impact Ministries, provides many things to those in need in the area, including, food assistance, help with utilities etc. this is through the First Baptist Church of Blue Springs, see website for more on this charity, needless to say it would be great to gather all of us from different denominations to join in helping the community. http://fbcbluesprings.org/293130.ihtml
As you will see below Timothy is serving A continental Breakfast before hand and lunch afterwards, this is optional but we would love to have you all join us, and I will be there. The volunteer time is about 3 hrs.
Do not feel you have to do this, I just thought I would throw it out there, and you only need to contact me if you want to join in an feel free to pass it on.
See all info below sent to me.
Jeanie:
I heard back from Kim at the Impact Ministry yesterday. She said we will be cleaning, preparing walls for painting and then painting if volunteers/time allows. She asked that we bring shop vacs, ladders/step ladders (to clean up high on the walls). I spoke with our Serve Team and we would like to limit the number of volunteers that have to supply these items. I know Steve Jorgensen, myself and the Wands all have these items we will plan on supplying for use. If you have these also that would be good to bring and then if we need to ask a couple of volunteers we can do that...but we want to make it as easy as possible on them to participate...do you agree?
She said to also encourage people to bring water bottles if they'd like, and you can bring a radio for music too (for some good sound). The other thing she mentioned is if we know of anyone that knows how to operate a paint sprayer...if so, they would rent one for the volunteer to use...so if we find someone we're supposed to let her know. She will also supply other paint supplies (brushes, rollers, etc).
She clarified that the location is right next door to Big Lots off 7 Hwy. She said they have big glass doors, no sign.
Thank You!
Jeanie
