If you would have asked me five years ago, where you see yourself five years from now, I would have never said working for a church. I majored in landscape management at University of Maryland. It was a passion to work with plants and in the soil until God took a hold of my life and honestly changed my heart….
While pursuing God and trying to fill this void in my life, I knew I wanted to get involved in something that loved on people in the community. Even before I gave my life to him, he instilled in me how to serve and love….
So, I landed here, at CLA, as the admin assistant to the Youth Pastor b/c Pastor Tony Sebastian believed in me and wanted to see spiritual growth in my life. It has been life changing to say the least…
Have you ever had a passion to do something then a year or two passes and you realize that you are so far from it….Sure, I know we go through different seasons and sometimes passions and dreams can be put on hold…I remember saying to friends while taking care of Baba and managing a part-time business that I want to do more and help in the community….little did I know that I desired to do something in the name of Jesus not for myself.
I want to take advantage of this divine season and place….With the new vision of the church, Love God…Love People…Change the World…, it has brought back all the desires I have to impact our community…
Here are a few areas this month you can love people…and change the world. The first opportunity is working with Capital Area Pregnancy Center. They offer caring and professional medical services, abortion recovery counseling and support, clothing and furnishings for mothers and baby, among other programs. They are completely self funded. They hold six car washes a year to help fund these programs, this being the last one for the year. They need 6-8 volunteers. It will be held on Saturday, September 6th from 9:30am-2:00pm in Mechanicsburg off the Bowmansdale exit. Click here for more information about CAPC.
The second opportunity is helping the Center for Champions of PA. Center for Champions of PA is an outreach to inner-city, at-risk families using a holistic approach that addresses the mind, body and spiritual needs of the individuals we serve. They are committed to changing the city for Christ one family at a time….Once a month they have dinners for the parents. This month it will be held for the entire family at a Veteran’s Park Elmerton Avenue in Harrisburg. They are in need of 10-12 volunteers to serve and love on the kids. The date is Thursday, September 11 from 4:00-9:00pm. We are leaving from the Youth Center at 4:00p. Click here to find out more information about CFC.
