The Local Ministry Team at MPC is partnering with several local organizations as we rededicate ourselves to mission and ministry in our local community.
Here are ways in which you can help:
The Senior Craftsmen is a group of seasoned carpenters from our church who performs a myriad of home repairs and engage in a variety of construction projects that help to benefit the surrounding community and its residents. They are best known for constructing much-needed wheelchair ramps throughout Media and Chester and their work in churches throughout the city. Most, if not all, of their work is done at no cost. The Senior Craftsmen meet every Thursday. If you are interested in joining these gentlemen, please call the church office at 610.566.3944 x16 and leave a message. The Senior Craftsmen DO NOT do roofing.
On Thursday, February 2 at 6:00 pm, we will be serving dinner at their mission in Philadelphia. The address is 302 N. 13th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107. There is a small parking lot in the back, off of Pearl St. You can go in through the Pearl St. entrance or walk around to the main entrance on 13th.
This is our first visit to the program in an attempt to establish a regular and ongoing partnership. If you are interested in joining in this endeavor or have questions, please contact Theresa Belville at littleturtlemama@gmail.com.
The Sunday Breakfast Mission is a program that serves the homeless, addicted and impoverished through Christ-centered programs to meet their spiritual, social and physical needs. Their primary goal is to restore people to right relationship with God, their families and society. For more information visit their website at sundaybreakfastmission.org.
Do you enjoy spending time with children? We are looking for servants willing to tutor students from the Chester-Upland School district. The only skill that is required is your ability to be present. If you feel led to engage this ministry, please see the tear-out sheet in the bulletin, or contact Rev. Passante at nikki@mediapresbyterian.org. The tutoring program runs Monday –Thursday, from 3:30-6:00 p.m., at the Unity Center Student Center at 733 W. 9th St in Chester.
