Join us in sharing the love of Jesus by donating socks to those in need! Heart for Monroe has identified socks as one of the most requested yet least donated items. A simple pair of socks can provide warmth, prevent cold-related illnesses, and restore dignity to individuals experiencing hardship.

How You Can Help:

• Donate New Socks: Socks can be for men, women, or children of any age, but they must be new.
• Drop-Off Locations: Look for collection bins on Main Street and throughout the campus.
• Spread the Word: Share our sock drive with your friends, family, and on social media to help us expand our reach and impact.

Every pair of socks donated will directly benefit someone in our community, reminding them they are seen, supported, and loved. Together, we can make a meaningful difference—one pair of socks at a time!

This training will be a simple approach to sharing the Gospel in an exciting new way. Gideons International seeks to partner with pastors and local churches through offering a personal witnessing workshop. Through this workshop, participants will discover the simplicity of the Gospel and learn practical ways to share their faith with confidence. Even though every Christ-follower is called to regularly share their faith, few do. This workshop seeks to equip those who feel led to help others do the same.

Outcome: For participants to discover the simplicity of the Gospel and walk away with practical tools and resources to confidently share their faith.

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.
