Parishioners become volunteers by registering online HERE with the Walking with Moms in Need Realm group, or at the annual SFA Ministry Fair in August. While the ministry is supporting a few moms, monthly in-person meetings will be at the church for those trained volunteers who serve as Walking Angels. Walking Angels are those who wish to accompany pregnant moms throughout their pregnancy and for up to one year following the birth of the child. Angels offer social, emotional and prayerful support, coordinate moms’ shopping trips to the ministry’s two Baby Boutiques and identify resources from an online database that may meet additional needs. The ministry will add quarterly in-person meetings at the parish for all volunteers, and anyone interested in joining the ministry. Other volunteers will support the ministry in many ways including prayer for moms, logistical support during donation events, doing occasional errands and tasks on behalf of moms, and providing quarterly communication via the bulletin and social media to the parish about ministry activities.
Brown Bag Ministry prepares and distributes bagged lunches every Saturday morning to one of the two low-income senior apartment communities in Durham we serve. The ministry warmly welcomes families and groups of all ages to join in. Volunteers come together to make sandwiches, pack lunches, share a moment of communal prayer, and connect face-to-face with neighbors in need.
