2Coats April Update

Good day all,

I hope this finds you well. Just a quick note on where we are heading in April

Prayer Requests
  1. for the night of prayer gathering Saturday at 5:45. That the Spirit would continue to move on these nights.
  2. for the Spring cleaning event, that we would provide more than a physical service, but development of neighbor like friendship.
  3. for the friends of 2Coats that at times, like us, are broken, hurting, and in need of God's love in their life. May they turn to greet Him.
Volunteer Opportunities and Events for April

Night of Prayer
  1. Saturday, April 2. Dinner Served at 5:45, music starts at 6:15
  2. Bring the whole family, kids are welcomed!
Spring Cleaning: the purpose of this event will be to go to the Senior Housing Apartments on the East side of town and do some Spring cleaning for them. Serving them by cleaning windows, washing floors, dusting, cleaning bathrooms and kitchens, etc.
  1. If you would like to help drop fliers on the Saturday the 16th, please let me know
  2. If you would like to help with the cleaning, this will take place on Saturday the 23rd. We will start at 10 am.
  3. If you would like to donate some cleaning supplies we could use...glass cleaner, floor cleaner, buckets, mops, rags, etc. = anything you might use to clean.
  4. We could always give cookies away, so feel free to make some of those.
  5. any other thoughts..??
We have Fridge: we have had a fridge donated to the cause. At this time we don't have a 2Coats friend who needs one, so we are going to use it to store food that we can give away to those friends.
  1. If you can make a meal, casserole, ziti dish, soup, etc. something we can freeze or store, drop it by the house and we will get it to the appropriate folks.
  2. Even better!! If you would like to deliver it to someone, I can give you an address!! This would be a great time!
Mobile Food Pantry: each month there is a mobile food pantry that comes to town. APril 23rd, same as the cleaning day, we will be handing out some doughnuts and hot coffee from 9:30-10:30.
  1. Please let me know if you can serve that day.
  2. If you would like to provide the Doughnuts (like from Casey's or something)
  3. If you have any other ideas for what we can do to serve these folks.
Friends of 2Coats: each day we are gaining and being put in contact with new "friends" with whom we can serve. Like us, they are broken, hurting, lost, and in need of Christian fellowship. If you would like to lean more about these folks and families and what you can do, we would need to have a personal contact. What a great opportunity to start to disciple these folks and help them to be closer to God!
