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.

 

 

FEBRUARY OUTREACH

For the February outreach, Shiloh will be assisting Shepherd’s Cove Emergency Shelter for Women and Children in Capitol Heights, MD. The shelter serves approximately 600 to 700 women every year.  Its goal is to provide supportive services to single women and women with children in Prince George’s County.

The shelter urgently needs cleaning supplies like Lysol, brooms, mops, detergent, and dishwashing liquid; they also need baby products such as pampers, pull-ups, wipes, lotion, Vaseline, and baby powder.

Shiloh let’s fill the bin with these items for Shepherd’s Cove.  You may bring your donations anytime during the month of February and place them in the Outreach bin located in the chapel area. And while you are doing so, don’t forget to offer a prayer for the residents of Shepherd’s Cove.

Contact outreach@shilohbc.org for questions.

Thank you.
