"Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who blessed of My Father,

inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me drink;

I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick,

and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.

Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine,

even the least of them, you did it to Me.'"

Matthew 25:34-36,40 (New American Standard Version)

 

Artie Padilla talks to the Ocheltree Group about
opportunities to serve the people of Fresno through
everyneighborhood.org

"The purpose of everyneighborhood.org is to get the body of Christ out into our city," Artie Padilla told members of the Ocheltree Shepherding Group on Sunday morning. He said that there are many parts of our city that we might not normally see, because we do not live there, attend school there or do business there.  But everyneighborhood.org, also called Every Neighborhood Partnership, gives Christians the opportunity to meet and become involved with their neighbors all over the city.

 

Service opportunities are endless:

 

1. Saturday morning sports programs at schools and playgrounds

2. Classroom volunteers

3. Summer reading programs

4. Recreational activities

5. Cooking classes

6. Community pantry helpers

7. Thrift shops

8. Financial workshops

9. Community meeting hosts

10. Senior citizen visitation

11. Park graffiti clean-up

12. Day care

 

The opportunities are as numerous as are the people who want to help out.  On any given Saturday, everyneighborhood.org has 27-30 outreach projects going on within the community.  We can become involved as inidividuals or as a group.  Our group can work on its own or join up with other churches in the community. Visit the website to acquaint yourself with this great ministry.

 

Artie's guarantee: "I guarantee you will grow in your walk when you do what God is calling you to do!"
