We have started a ministry at the Downtown Rescue Mission. Our objective is to support the Women and Children’s Ministry there. Sandra Cepada and Helen Housch are teaching a bible study class on Wednesday and in in need of additional teachers and support.

Here is the list of current needs:

• Women to serve as back-up teachers – Wednesdays 12 to 1:30PM.
• Women to teach parenting classes – the church has curriculum they can make available to the teachers. These classes would be Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12 to 1:30PM.
• Women to keep the children while the parenting classes are going on – Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12 to 1:30PM
• Women to keep the children while our Bible Study class is going on and also while a DRM bible class is going on – Mondays and Wednesdays from 12 to 1:30PM
• Women to mentor the ladies in the Celebrate Recovery Program at the mission. When these ladies get to a good point in their recovery program, they would be assigned a mentor that can take them out to lunch once a month, or take them to the park for a walk, or even take them home to spend a weekend with them. The idea is for the ladies to have somebody to talk to and be mentored by so that when they leave the mission after completing the 18-month Celebrate Recovery Program they can continue a relationship with the mentor. This is certainly a task for which our Stephen Ministry training has prepared us well!
• Drivers to drive the Church van to transport the ladies and children to their appointments. These drivers would have to be Trinity members (for insurance reasons). They will be trained to drive the minibus, will need to have a valid driver's license and hold personal car insurance. – Mondays and Wednesdays from 8-5PM. We could do shifts so a person doesn't have to drive the whole day or every week.
