MONTHLY OUTREACH INITIATIVES

SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH OUTREACH MINISTRY

The Outreach Ministry is a collaborative effort between all the ministries of Shiloh Baptist Church of Landover. A Deacon or Minister is assigned by the Pastor to be the coordinator of the ministry. A ministry will be assigned a month during the year to take the lead on an outreach activity and at least 2-4 other ministries will be assigned to assist the lead ministry in carrying out its outreach activity. The intent is to get all of Shiloh involved in participating in an outreach activity in the community during the year.

 

 

JANUARY OUTREACH

For the January Outreach, Shiloh will support Community Crisis Services, Inc., (CCSI) which is located in Hyattsville, MD.  CCSI provides crisis support through its hotline, safe shelter programs and information, and referral services. It serves domestic violence survivors in Prince George’s County with shelter and counseling services.  Its residents consist of men, women, and children.

CCSI is requesting the following items for their residents: bar soap, body wash, lotion, shampoos & conditioners, deodorants for men and women, hair combs and brushes, underwear and undershirts, baby supplies, and cleaning supplies.

The complete list can be found below.

You may bring these items to the Church during January and place them in the outreach bin located in the Chapel area.  We thank God that He has given us another opportunity to help someone else.
