Out of the Box Idea
(Great idea from Outreach Magazine)
Host tailgate parties before high school football gamesIf high school or college football is big in your town, tailgate parties are a great way to get out and connect with a wide range of people in your community. Depending on available space, you can either tailgate outside the football stadium, or host the party at your church beforehand.
Either way, free food, games, and music are a great way to draw people in and connect. You can have a tent set up with your church’s logo and have staff or volunteers wear church t-shirts so people will know who to connect with if they’re interested in learning more about your church.
 
Local Mission Opportunities

There is a woman in need of a handicap ramp built for her home on Watermill Rd.  She has MS and has had multiple heart surgeries.  Because of age she does not qualify for Foothills projects. She is in need of both funding for the ramp as well as a crew to build the ramp.  If you are able to help please call Lori Norville (828) 413-3810

Seeking a Christian Lady To Help Bedridden Mom at Night I am seeking a Christian woman in the Morganton area to assist my 71 year old mom at night around 9-10 PM. She has Post-Polio Syndrome that affected her legs. Covid weakened her legs further in November 2023. She can no longer stand up or walk. She only gets out of the bed when two people are available to use a transfer patient lift /transfer chair to transfer her into a wheelchair. She lives on Amherst Rd. She lost her husband on February 22, 2024. He had esophageal cancer. We are looking for a woman to assist my mom with personal care for about an hour at night. Certificate is not required. It is important the woman has a heart for helping disabled patients. The lady who currently assists my mom at night is not a CNA. She has to quit due to a lot of responsibilities at her day job. Two of the ladies who help mymom earlier in the day are CNAs. If interested, please email your information and your testimony to Misty Roberts atmisty@brightideaweb.com. Please also include information about yourself and why you might be a good fit. My sister will discuss pay.
