OpportunitIES TO minister in church family
Cards of Encouragement During the Month of May
As the saying goes, “April showers bring May flowers,” MVBC would like to shower the Perry family with encouragement. It’s a way of showing love and compassion, and it can be a powerful source of hope and support so let’s take this opportunity to make a difference for others. Christian Perry, son of Jackie and Jerry Perry, could use our support and love. If you’d like to participate, please pick up a card from the front or provide your own and share words of encouragement for the family, as well as specifically for Christian. Completed cards can be dropped off at the church office. Consider sharing a scripture, a positive or funny story, and, most importantly, the love of Jesus. Special request for ladies of the church family to have cards ready for Jackie Perry for Mother’s Day.
DRIVE and fellowship
We at MVBC would like to assist Charles Delp and Carolyn with transportation to his dialysis each week. He goes Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. It takes close to 45 minutes from their home to the dialysis location. Charles would need to be picked up at his home 285 Wagon Wheel Rd Elk Creek, VA 24326 and arrive at his appointment each time by 10:45 at the Dialysis Center 1159 Glendale Rd, Galax, VA . Carolyn would pick him up at completion of dialysis. Therefore, you would not need to stay. Please let Debbie know if you can assist with this so that the schedule can be made to minister to this family.
