MissionOutreachOpportunitiesGoServe - Penningtonville Presbyterian Church

We Worship; we get connected in a Community Formation Group; and then we are challenged to Go & Serve through Mission & Outreach Opportunities.

Mission & Outreach Opportunities provide us opportunities to be the hands and feet of Jesus out in our community and the world beyond. Mission & Outreach Opportunities provide us opportunities to use our variety of different gifts, to go to a variety of different places, to accomplish a variety of different goals, all for the glory of God. Mission & Outreach Opportunities challenge us to Go & Serve, just as Jesus modeled for us in his life of service to others.

Currently we support 4 Mission & Outreach Opportunities, as well as financially supporting 4 PC(USA) Mission Offerings. Read a little about each Mission & Outreach Opportunity on this page and see where God might be calling you to get involved.

Mission Statement:
The ministry and mission of Camp Donegal is to provide a peaceful setting
away from the busy world where all may gather, play and pray, learn and grow
in their relationship with Jesus Christ, with others, and with themselves.

There are opportunities to serve through volunteer work days at Camp Donegal, as well as volunteering during the Summer Camping Season. During the Summer Camping Season volunteers are also needed to serve as Nurses and Chaplains for the camps going on.

Good Works, Inc.

www.goodworksinc.org
610-383-6311

Mission Statement:
Our mission is to extend God's love to families living in substandard housing;
to make homes warmer, safer, and drier;
to replace hopelessness with the hope of Jesus Christ.
Our vision is to eliminate substandard housing in Chester County.

Sign up to be a part of a Saturday Work Crew. We gather in Coatesville to get our assignments and then head out for a day of work, where our lives will be touched just as much as the lives we will touch.

All those workers need to be fed - maybe you can help in preparing some lunches.

While most of the labor is donated, financial gifts are needed to help pay for the materials to fix up the homes. Individuals and churches are needed to partner with Good Works to help provide the financial backing to continue to reach those in need.

Or maybe you have building or medical skills and you are up for the challenge of going to Haiti to truly be the hands and feet of God in that country. Maybe you are being called to go work side by side with Haitian people, not just rebuilding buildings, but rebuilding lives. Contact Alyce Denver to discuss opportunities and possibilities that exist for this to happen.
