Meeting Frequency: This is a new Ministry Group that meets approximately monthly at CPMC.
Background: The Outreach-Evangelism Task Group was formed by a January 2008 Offsite Session meeting. During the meeting the Elders on Session decided that the spiritual mission of Campbell would be more efficiently supported with targeted approaches to spread the word of the Gospel in our community. This is a very enthusiastic outreach group.
Purpose: The Task Group supports Campbell’s Mission and Vision Statement – Called by Christ to serve, share our faith, and live out God’s love in the world. To support this Mission and Vision, this ministry group was formed to introduce new residents in the community, and the un-churched to our traditional services at 11:00 AM on Sundays and the new casual format 9:30 Good NEWS service.
What do we do? O/E is an action packed small but mighty group that has fun doing acts of kindness in the community. We are at the Irvington and Kilmarnock Farmers markets, with shade, chairs, water, and short bread or trail mix, we maintain the church signs so folks from out of the area can find Weems, we make and distribute welcome baskets, wear and sell Campbell T-Shirts, participate in the annual Weems yard sale, place advertisements for Campbell in the Rappahannock Record and the list goes on. We are the front line of community kindness ambassadors for the church and we would love for you to attend a meeting to share the energy and love of doing Christ’s work.
How can you participate? The task group is open to anyone who wants to help share the love of Jesus Christ. Contact the church office at 804-438-6875, Harry Wells or any member of the Ministry group and we will welcome you to our team with great joy.
