As a church that believes in wide-eyed participation, we want to give you as many opportunities as possible to come alongside Jesus in the journey of reconciliation. That's why we offer weekly Do Some Good opportunities.

Please don't feel pressure to participate in everything, but we do hope that these posts give you an opportunity to plug in and serve the community at your capacity.

DO SOME GOOD

Hope is a word that carries a lot of weight. Hope is not just a feeling or a wish. Hope comes from the strength of the holy spirit, the joy and peace found in Christ, and the collective actions of each and every one of us to create a better today while longing for an even better tomorrow. By caring for our neighbors, loving sacrificially, and serving without regard, we continue to sow seeds of hope every step of the way. Let's do some good and foster hope in the Midlands this week! 

-The Mission Pantry shelves at Mission Lexington are low on canned chicken and canned tuna. Every can donated helps feed a local family in need. You can drop off donations directly at 216 Harmon Street Monday-Friday, 10am - 3pm. You can also shop their Amazon Wish List here:bit.ly/3ZmjH9M.

-Argus CRE is hosting a benefit concert and has selected Mission Lexington as the recipient of proceeds! The June 20th concert will be held at The Icehouse Amphitheater and features Marvin King Revue & Elliot and the untouchables. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased here: bit.ly/4dZ2auq.

-The Irmo Juneteenth Festival is next week, and Emmaus will be there to celebrate! The African American Historical Society of Irmo is hosting a Juneteenth celebration on Wednesday, June 19th. Festivities kick off at 6:00pm at Irmo Community Park (7507 Eastview Drive, Irmo). The event will include live music, vendors, food trucks, displays, and more. If you would like to table with us at the vendor booth, please fill out this form: forms.gle/3YBCwNra2gzPVBnb6. We will be in touch with more details! 

-The work is increasing for some of our service teams, especially the litter sweep and landscaping teams. If you are interested in serving with either of these groups, please email Dylan (dylan@emmauschurchsc.com). Each team does one service project a quarter, as well as other needs as they arise for individuals and families in the community.
