Know someone who needs encouragement?
OUR PURPOSE
To actively live out the call of Romans 12:9-13. This multi-faceted weekly service project is meant to involve everyone in the church, no matter what level of personal contact they are comfortable with. It is also meant to connect the people in our midst and beyond that are feeling lonely, disconnected, sick, and hurting. It is an outreach opportunity that gives our Trinity family members the opportunity to pour out some tangible love from Jesus to people around them in a time when being together as a body is such a challenge.
Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality.”
Romans 12:9-13
HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVED?
FINANCIAL
From time to time we will publicize specific needs we have, but this ministry relies solely on donations for supplies needed. The approximate weekly cost depends on the number of names submitted. To donate, you can contact Leah for weekly needs, or write a check (payable to Trinity Alliance Church, with ‘Mason Jar Ministries’ in the memo) or you can donate through our online giving (click on GIVE above, there is a special line item for this ministry).
PRAYER WARRIORS
We would love to have a team of people who are willing to pray specifically for the recipients of these packages! This is such an important aspect of this ministry, and is perfect for those that do not feel comfortable leaving their home or gathering in a small group.
CRAFTS
A special craft will be placed in each package and we can always use help assembling these! This is a great opportunity for kids and/or teens to help, plus it’s a lot of fun!
PACKAGING MATERIALS
We use medium-sized gift bags with handles and gift tissue paper. We need enough for at least 10 each week.
FOOD PREP | BAKED GOODS
We provide a variety of food options in each weekly care package. Please reach out to Leah or Cathy if you are gifted in this way, or if you have experience baking alternatively (gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, etc)!
SUBMIT A NAME
We will need communication from each member of the congregation to help us keep tabs on everyone. If you know of someone who could use some extra encouragement, please submit their name so we can send them a special care package. Please submit one form per person, a family can be submitted on one form.
OUTREACH
We would like our TAC family to utilize this ministry as a way to reach out to people in their own community who need Jesus and some encouragement! We just ask that if you nominate someone that we don’t know yet, you be the one to make the delivery of the care package.
