Easter Outreach Volunteer Opportunities

EGG HUNT OUTREACH at THE AVERY
We will be providing an Egg Hunt outreach event for our friends at The Avery apartments across the street from Ninth & O on Saturday, April 8, from 12:00–2:00 PM.  Here’s how you can help:

• Candy Collection
  Donate bags of Easter candy to be used to fill 2,000 eggs for the egg hunt.  Donations may be made at the church in either lobby on Sundays and Wednesdays.
• Volunteer to Help with the Egg Hunt
  We need 15 volunteers to help on April 8 with set up at 11:00 AM, tear down at after the event (2:00 PM), grilling, egg hiding, and intentional interaction with Avery residents.

“EGG YOUR NEIGHBOR” OUTREACH KITS
Looking for a simple way to remind neighbors of Easter’s true meaning? If your answer is yes, we recommend you EGG them! The concept is simple. First, register to receive an “Egg Your Neighbor” kit. Second, pick up your kit in the Missions Hallway. Kits will be available beginning Sunday, March 12. Third, deliver your kit to your neighbor. Each kit includes a basket, 12 plastic eggs, various prizes, and an Easter services invite door hanger. All you need to do is provide candy for the eggs (eggs included, but candy is not) and then deliver. Please limit your request to 2 per family.

PRAYER TEAMS
Jesus said, “Apart from me, you can do NOTHING.” We do not want to attempt to invite folks and host a worship gathering without the Lord’s blessing and in our strength. We are seeking his blessing on all of our Easter plans for 2023, and we hope you will join us. Here are different ways to join us in praying for Easter this year:

• Holy Week Prayer Team
  We hope you’ll join us in covering Easter weekend in your personal and family prayers. We want to pray for several specific requests daily leading up to Easter Sunday. You can participate by grabbing an Easter prayer card or looking for prayer prompts on social media during Holy Week (April 2–9).
• Wednesday Night Prayer Team
  This prayer team will gather Wednesday, April 5, at 6:30 pm to pray for our Easter services and outreach endeavors. We will walk through different parts of our building to pray about specific ministries and leaders.
• Easter Sunday Service Prayer Teams
  This special ops prayer team will intercede for our pastors, volunteers, congregation, and guests during the services on Easter Sunday, April 9. Prayer points will be provided to help guide the team to intercede in specific ways during the morning services at 9:00 and 10:45. You can participate with this team in the opposite service you plan to attend.
