Loaves and Fishes…On Tuesdays from 4:30 to 6:15, many prepare and serve an entire meal to the homeless at the downtown Loaves and Fishes organization. Organizing the cooks is Gisela Garbut. There are a number of different cooks and helpers including Mary Clark, Betty Kreutzer, Carla Vogel and Carla Rumpf. The group became involved in this ministry because Jesus shows us by example that we should be a servant to all and that we are to love our neighbor. (More......) | |||||||||||||||||||

| Small Group Ministries: The Care Group Ministry of Alive in Christ goes hand in hand with the church slogan . . . "Relationships for life". It is the desire at Alive in Christ that all members are plugged in to a "Care Group". A Care Group is a small group of people who meet on a regular basis to study God's word and have fellowship (fun) with each other. Care groups are all about strengthening the relationship we have with our Lord and Savior and our relationships with each other. What better source to understand how to do this, than to look at Christ? The following acronym can help explain the basic meaning of Care Groups. |

| Caring and Fellowship: The Martha Ministry provides assistance to Alive In Christ church families during both sad and joyous times in their lives--whether it be at a time someone suffers the loss of a loved one or a new mom coming home from the hospital. Those helping with this ministry may be asked to provide meals, chauffeur, help with laundry, shopping, lawn mowing or babysitting services. Sherri Twaddle organizes the ministry for "new moms" to make the first couple of weeks after mom's arrival home a little smoother. Pat Miller manages the Martha Ministry for families who are dealing with health issues, death in the family or for those who have other needs. This Ministry is uplifting to both the giver and the receiver and is open to any member of Alive In Christ who wishes to serve. |
