FPC On Demand

This is a multifaceted ministry dedicated to serving care facility residents, the homebound, and the imprisoned. In service to them, our program members find joy and fulfillment as we bring faith, hope, and love to those we encounter. We take our service to them “on demand,” outside the walls of our FPC home.

ON DEMAND MINISTRIES

Musical Entertainment/Outreach

Three groups of musicians perform about 8 times a month for residents at care facilities. We perform all kinds of music: traditional music, singalongs, hymns, popular music from the 1920s-1970s, Broadway numbers, folk, country, and classical.

Assistance

Birthday
Ministry

We organize visits to sing Happy Birthday to members who can no longer attend church, but could benefit from a personal visit and celebratory song.

Jail
Ministry

Our volunteers provide support for the Cobb County Adult Detention Center.

Activities include:

• Providing books and staff for the newly opened jail library,
• Helping support NA, AA and residential treatment for inmates during their incarceration and upon release,
• Meeting special needs at the jail such as the winter clothing drive to ensure inmates leave the jail properly dressed for the weather, and
• Showing support to the staff byproviding holiday dinners to those
• working on July 4th and Thanksgiving.
• Also, a volunteer stepped forward to
• fill a vacant Chaplaincy when the need
• was identified.

ANNUAL SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES

MUST Summer Lunch

FPC has a long history of working with MUST Ministries to ensure that vulnerable children do not go hungry during the summer. Volunteers donate food, pack and deliver meal kits once a week to children who would normally receive free breakfast and lunch at school.

Winter Transportation

People experiencing homelessness face especially difficult challenges during extremely cold weather. When temperatures fall below freezing, FPC volunteers help these neighbors in need by providing transportation to emergency overflow shelters. Please consider joining us!

Habitat for Humanity

FPC and other Cobb County faith groups partner each year to fund and build a Habitat house. Volunteers are needed to help with construction and to provide food and beverages for the builders. You can also help recruit builders and collect funds prior to the build.

Rise Against Hunger

This fun and meaningful opportunity is great for the entire family! Rise Against Hunger provides food and life-changing aid to the world’s most vulnerable people. Volunteers are needed for event set-up and to package meals that provide emergency food assistance around the world.

Red Cross Blood Drive

Donating blood makes a big difference in the lives of others. FPC hosts two blood drives each year. Blood donors are needed, as well as volunteers to help with the drives on Sunday mornings.
