GroupServe Newsletter - September

Group Serve is the ministry of our church that continues those contacts established at Big Serve. The goal is for all small groups and individuals to serve a minimum of once per month in the
community. The list below is a sample of the opportunities that exist. Live the mission!

New Opportunity in September:

Catalyst Team—We are searching for a few good men and women to begin to prayerfully engage
people groups and affinity groups around Hampton Roads with the Gospel. We have had a wonderful summer on mission, but we need to find ways to bring that experience home and live the mission where we live. Contact Curt Breland at cbreland@firstnorfolk.org or 461.3226.

Ongoing Ministries:

Hope for the Hungry—This group is seeking classes and individuals to serve at the Union Mission to provide supplementary ministry to those seeking shelter and food. Regular opportunities exist on
Sundays at 7:15 AM. Contact Jay Coulter at jonathancoulter7@gmail.com.

Gosnold Apartments—Weekly ministry at Gosnold Apartments continues on Thursday nights.
Individuals and groups are invited to serve this group of our population who have been chronically homeless. Contact Bob Williams at robertwilliams@prodigy.net.

Cloverleaf Apartments—Ministry opportunities are beginning to open with the residents of this facility. Contact the Winning Walk class or Ethel Breland at cebreland@cox.net.

Bobbitt Apartments—The Young at Heart Ministry has adopted our work at Bobbitt and they are now assisting on one Thursday afternoon per month at this facility. This ministry consists of a brief bingo game and Bible study. Contact Jo Rush at gojotoo@verizon.net.

Coronado School—Volunteers are always needed for special events, mentoring, and donation
distribution. Contact Julie Orts at julieorts@verizon.net

Block Party Ministry—If you are interested in serving with our block party opportunities or would like to sponsor one in your neighborhood, contact Susan Briggs at sbriggs@firstnorfolk.org.

Crisis Pregnancy Center—Classes are encouraged to visit the Keim Center and support their ministry. They will be available in the Live the Mission Center each Sunday of October. Visit www.cpcfriends.org or call 410.9703.
