Volunteer at Chapel

As part of our Spiritual Development Outreach program this year, LAMPLighters are encouraged to be Helping Hands with the Metropolitan Ministries' Wednesday Night Kids Chapel. Becca Baughman, a Global Mission Fellow working with MM this year, has organized a fun and thoughtful kids-friendly Bible Story for each week, with appropriate easy crafts for the kids to do that will seal the lessons in their minds and provide some mid-week fun. LL will simply show up and help the kids with any cutting or pasting needed for the crafts, while providing some one-on-one love and attention to these little cuties. We need 1 or 2 volunteers each week; volunteers will arrive around 6:30 pm to help set up; the Chapel is from 7:00-8:00.

Attached is the schedule of lessons for the year. The overall theme is Faith, with each story sharing how special people in the Bible lived out their faith when times were especially difficult. Not only is this perfect encouragement for these kids, it's a terrific reminder for us as well.

We Care Kits

As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting the residents of Metropolitan Ministries, LAMPLighters ensures that each new resident receives a packet of essential toiletries upon their arrival. This initiative aims to provide a sense of comfort and basic necessities to those who are transitioning into the shelter.

Throughout the year, this program remains steadfast, with LAMPLighters consistently ensuring that each new resident is equipped with the toiletries they need for personal care. By providing these essential items, we aim to alleviate some of the immediate challenges faced by individuals and families as they settle into their new living arrangements.

This ongoing effort reflects our dedication to the well-being and dignity of those in need, ensuring that they have access to basic necessities from the moment they arrive at Metropolitan Ministries
