Reaching Wider

CIRCLE U HELP CENTER

First English sponsors two routes each Saturday. Volunteers pick up food packages and hot meals to deliver to homebound residents in the community.  To volunteer, call the church office at 765-962-5773.

HARVEST HOUSE

On the 4th Wednesday, each month volunteers from First English donate and/or prepare a hot meal which is served at Mosaic Ministries at 5:30 p.m.   If you would like to help prepare and serve a meal, call the church office at 765-962-5773 or email cbrady@felconline.org.

THE LAUNDRY PROJECT

First English donates $500 once a month for an event sponsored by the Wayne County Trustee’s office at two local laundromats. Our church members also volunteer to help families measure detergent and start machines with quarters.  We also collect small personal care and hygiene products to distribute while making relationships with the clientele.  Interested in helping?  Call the church office at 765-962-5773.

MEAL TRAIN

First English provides an organized way for friends and family to deliver home-cooked meals to someone who's going through a challenging time.  If you'd like to help, call the church office at 765-962-5773 or email lpickett@felconline.org

PRAYER TEAM

Church members meet on Monday mornings to cover the First English church family in prayer for specific needs, comfort, and blessings.

  • Rock Solid Ministries - Inner city multifaceted Christian ministry operating in downtown Richmond providing food, medical care and resources.
  •  Refuge of Hope - Offers hope and shelter for homeless women and children.
  • Communities in Schools - Provides Wayne County students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.

HANDS  OF HOPE

We partner with other churches to support HOH, an organization that makes us aware of the real-time needs of hurting children and families in our community so that we can meet those specific needs or provide resources.   For more information contact the church office at 765-962-5773 or email kara@felconline.org.
