Dove's Nest is a ministry of the Charlotte Rescue Mission that provides Christian residential drug and alcohol recovery services at no cost for women and their children. On Saturday, October 11th, FBCIT is planning a night of worship, redeeming testimony through the Gospel, and service to these amazing women. We will be serving them dinner and presenting them with new coats and gloves as a way to express God's love for them. That night, we as a church want to encourage them as scripture encourages us in Isaiah 44:22: "I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.” Eternal salvation and redemption is only a whisper of head and heart away!

We are needing volunteers to assist with:

• Greeters
• Food/Refreshment serving
• Distribution of Coats/Gloves
• Prayer
• Most importantly, to love on these precious people

Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF) has an afterschool program called "Good News Clubs", where Jesus is shared in our public schools.

In a partnership with FBCIT, CEF is looking for volunteers to help assist with the following:

• Teach Bible stories
• Missionary lessons
• Lead songs
• Provide snacks
• Organization/Planning

Children who attend each week grow in their understanding of Jesus and Biblical truths as they hear the Gospel. This engaging, high-energy time also includes scripture memorization, interactive Bible-based games, and activities that reinforce each day’s lesson. Good News Club not only brings the Gospel into public schools but also helps connect children and their families to the local church.

Volunteer opportunities are available in the fall, spring, and summer. Additionally, if you're interested in starting a Good News Club chapter at your elementary school, contact Tammy Mercer for more information and next steps.
