Neighborhood
Ministry
Not a handout, but a hand-up
Our
Neighborhood ministry provides assistance to thousands of individuals
and urban families living below the poverty level in surrounding
neighborhoods. We distribute donated clothing and miscellaneous
household items free of charge and also supply holiday food baskets
so that families can enjoy these special times together. In addition
to meeting physical needs we also minister to spiritual needs
through weekly worship services, Bible studies and a monthly "Mother's
Club". Our vision is to expand the hours of this outreach
to better accommodate working urban families, while also expanding
its scope to include parenting and personal finance workshops
as well as a variety of support and social groups. With Welfare
Reform impacting thousands of Cleveland families, our expanded
Neighborhood Ministry will enable us to reach many hurting people
of the city who are not part of our residential programs.
Our
Clothing Room Evangelism and Ministry Team is highlighted by a
weekly worship service on Wednesday mornings for women who shop
our no cost clothing room. Children's programming is provided
so that guests can participate in worship. Attendance in worship
qualifies the women for additional shopping days in the clothing
room.
Additional
programs for fellowship and nurturing are also offered. These
include The Mother's Club, which is a group of women from urban
Cleveland who meet for fellowship, Bible study, activities and
lunch each month. Some of the participants have been attending
faithfully for over 38 years! They enjoy praising the Lord and
learning more about the Word of God. Special field trips and holiday
food baskets bring a blessing to the lives of these local ladies.
You
are welcome to join either of these two groups as they meet on
The City Mission campus at 5310 Carnegie Avenue.
