Time to register your chili!
Set your reminders, we'd love to see you in February!
HYDRATE
Hydrate youth and leaders joined forces with CHRISTMAS IN CLIO to help set up for family distribution day.
NOTE: Notice in the background how they set up for distribution? This is why we no longer wrap our donations. The family is given credits according to family size/dynamics to do their own "shopping" for their kids and then wrap their gifts themselves. CHRISTMAS IN CLIO does an amazing job. We are happy to be partnering with them.
Hydrate enjoyed a Christmas celebration on December 20th.

MISSION NEWS
If you would like to help, please show up @ Franklin Ave Diner on either or both of our next service days: January 6th & 8th.
"Here am I, send me!" - Isaiah 6:8 - BECOME A VOLUNTEER
There are many ways to serve at Franklin Avenue Mission. Pray to God to see where He leads you!
PERSONALS CLOSET - Volunteers help obtain, sort, and distribute hygienic products (soap, shampoo, tooth brushes, etc...) to the men, women and children of Flint's East Side on the first Tuesday of each month.
CUSTODIAL PROGRAM - Volunteers serve as mentors to trainees and help them prepare to find employment after their completion of the program. Volunteers should have professional experience in any field, and be able to confidently coach mentees through an interview process.
MERCY HOUSE - Volunteers help mentor mothers and/or their children. Tasks might include teaching how to cook a dish, tutoring kids in math, or simply spending time on the play ground. All volunteers must undergo a background check.
CLEAN & GREEN - Volunteers like working outdoors and love the smell of fresh cut grass! Throughout the summer, tasks include mowing lots and removing garbage and debris.
THE UPPER ROOM - Volunteers help prepare fellowship meals for our community to gather around following worship on Sunday evenings. All rostered LCMS pastors, vicars and deacons may volunteer to preach when their congregations attend.
