Community Outreach
The Goal of the NCF Outreach Ministry is to follow Christ’s example of a servant’s heart by offering a cold glass of water to our thirsty community. This Ministry reflects the abundance of grace that God generously pours upon the saints during our local assembly and, as a result, spills over to those with whom God has surrounded us, our neighbors.
This ministry purposes to plan, promote and execute events that bring the love of Christ beyond the church walls. We Annually Host: -Vacation Bible School -A School Supply Drive for Nottoway County’s Weekday Religious Education. -A Thanksgiving Dinner Service that prepares and delivers a home- cooked Thanksgiving meal for those that would otherwise go without. -Christmas Toy Drive. -Christmas Gift Drive for the individuals in the local Nursing Home that do not have families. -Food Drives to help stock the shelves of the local community foodbank -Service Projects that bless those that are unable to do for themselves.
Scripture Reference – Matthew 25:31-40:
“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’
