ONGOING MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES
HOPE CENTER - The Hope Center is a ministry of the Nashville Rescue Mission. It is a Biblically based six month residential recovery program for women suffering from alcohol and drug addictions or other life-debilitating problems. The Hope Center works together with a mother and her children or single women to build up spiritual, physical, mental and emotional strengths leading to more stable relationships and recovery. For the past six years, the Women's Ministry of FBCJ has gone to the Hope Center on the 4th Thursday of each month to serve food and host a graduation party for the ladies who have graduated from that program. We provide food for approximately 75 women and gifts for each graduate. If you would like to participate, contact Linda Carol Royalty at 876-4643 or Pat Carroll at 876-4705.
WOMEN'S ePRAYER GROUP - We are grateful to Bonnie Cecil for starting and maintaining our email prayer ministry ("ePrayer Group") and providing a web site) for sharing prayer requests and praises. The theme for this ministry is Psalm 46:1: "God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble." If you would like to participate, send your email address and any prayer requests to Bonnie Cecil. Each week, Bonnie will post the prayer requests and praises she has received on the web site and will send the prayer requests/praises she has received to everyone on the email list. We will also have prayergrams available in the Prayer Room for anyone who does not have email but would like to participate.
