Opportunities to SERVE with HCC
Jesus calls us to be "givers" rather than "takers".
There are many ways you can serve here in and through the family of Harrisburg Christian Church.
Our different ministries always have need for volunteers. You can always contact the Pastoral Staff or Ministry Team Leaders to talk with them about ways you can give your time, abilities, and heart for the Lord as you serve others in important ways.
Here are a few of the RECENT NEEDS we are aware of that YOU might be the perfect match!
HOSEA MEALS
The HCC family provides a meal each month at HOSEA YOUTH SERVICES in downtown Eugene for hungry youth ages 14-24 who typically live on the streets or are in transitional housing. We serve about 30-40 plates of good, nutritious food the 4th Wednesday of each month. Grocery items or menu dishes are donated, taken to the Hosea center, and served with a smile.
If you are interested in helping: Contact MARIE KAMPFER at 541-632-2559. Sign Up any Sunday or at the HCC Offices to donate food items or to help serve the meal.
URGENT NEED: We want to have quarterly Coordinators for this service project. Would you be willing to organize this meal and volunteers for three months of the year? That's just three meals!
If you are willing, MARIE KAMPFER would love to "show you the ropes" and get you prepared to volunteer for this incredible ministry. Don't delay!
FACILITIES UPKEEP
HCC is blessed with a wonderful set of buildings, grounds, and vehicles that help us to do the ministry of this congregation, and that we gladly share with our community! There is always work to be done to have it in good shape for all the wonderful ways we can use them to share God's love!
If you love to mow lawns, work in landscaping, have handy-man skills, love a good demo or clean-up project this is for you!
CURRENT NEED - Someone with a small tractor to till up our back lot lawn and level it, so it can be seeded this fall season.
