Save the date for Tucker First UMC's First Annual Great Day of Service! On Saturday, October 7, individuals and families will gather in teams to go forth and serve in our community!
Projects representing a wide range of needs will be pre-selected prior to the Great Day of Service. There will be something that YOU can do no matter your age. Families may serve together or choose different projects depending upon their interests. Childcare will be available for the youngest ones, but they too will have a fun project to complete. Imagine the impact for Christ we can accomplish if we all work together! Great Day of Service Project Coodinators Needed Seeking men, women, and youth to be project coordinators for each pre-screened project as well as interested individuals who will help on the Planning Committee! Please contact Kelly Skinner at mommy23qtz@gmail.com or 770-906-8094 if you want to be a part of this unique servant experience. |
Appalachian Service Project
September 14 - 17 Tucker First's next Appalachian Service Project (ASP) trip will be Thursday, September 14 - Sunday, September 17. The team is looking for volunteers who would like to participate in this wonderful mission. ASP is a Christian home repair ministry through which volunteers and staff repair homes for low-income families in rural Central Appalachia. Construction skills are not required to participate. We are registered for a ten-person team but can take many more people. This is a great, mission trip that is short on time but long on value to the community we help. If you would like to know more about ASP, contact Kelly Skinner at mommy23qtz@gmail.com or 770-906-8094.

Two Ways You Can Volunteer For Missions in June
Habitat for Humanity - June 3, 10, 17, and/or 24

on restoring an older home to its prime to better suit a young family. The dates are June 3, 10, 17, and 24. Help is needed

• Prayers for the volunteers
• Volunteers needed to work on the house ( 9 am - 4 pm)

Volunteering for Habitat is easy: you come to work feeling worthless and tired
(it is 9 am on a Saturday, remember) and you leave with purpose and energy.
It is infectious. You will want to come again and again. And, you will meet some
of the most amazing volunteers who are ready and willing to teach you a new
skill but you're never lose sight of our mission to build homes, not just houses,
for our brothers and sisters in DeKalb. Kay Entrekin
