Category: Community Engagement Coordinator: Chipper FlanikenOn Saturday December 7th, City Church is hosting its second annual Christmas Banquet for those experiencing homelessness downtown. Based on Jesus’ teachings in Luke 14:12-24, this is part of our larger effort to love our neighbors in downtown as disciples of Christ by building relationships over a meal with people in need.
We want as many in people in the church to be a part of this as possible and will need additional volunteers outside of the outreach team. If you are interested in serving, please check out the spreadsheet linked below. Roles include managing the flow of food, serving tables, and engaging with guests; not all are people-facing. If you are not available to serve, there are still ways to participate! Sign-up here to give a food item for the meal or a personal item for gifts that will be given to guests. If you're interested in volunteering during the event, you can sign up on the provided spreadsheet as well - just click the "Volunteer Sign-Up" tab at the bottom!
