Greetings, Wonderful Breakthrough
It's July! We've got some fun stuff going on at Breakthrough this month - between the shrimp boil at the men's facility and the kids' basketball tourney and women's meal serve next Friday - you're bound to find something that tickles your fancy. So celebrate your Independence this month by coming out to volunteer with us at one of our service opportunities! Because nothing says "I'm declaring my Independence" quite like cooking or playing hoops with awesome kiddos... :)
HOME COURTSoul City is partnering with Breakthrough again this year with a cool kid's program called Home Court on Friday, July 19th. At Home Court, we'll be running basketball games, grilling out, making arts and crafts and serving the community. This is a great opportunity to get involved with the kids at Breakthrough.
When & Where: Friday, July 19th// 2:30p-8:15p// Joshua Center (3330 W Carroll Ave)I’m in! How do I sign up?: Email caitlinlittle@soulcitychurch.com.
JULY MEAL OPPORTUNITIES
Here are the dates for this month's regularly scheduled serving opps:
- Men's Facility Serve - Thursday, 7/11 (402 N St. Louis) - SHRIMP BOIL! This is going to be a really great meal. We need some help to make it happen though. So now is the time to pull out that extra turkey fryer you have in storage and loan it to the cause of delicious morsels and full bellies. Don't have a turkey fryer (we'll return it - I promise!) - maybe you have a grill-sized propane tank? If so - we could use a few of those too. And of course, we can always use donations to help cover the cost of groceries. This is one of the big meals for the year - always a big hit. Let me know if you want to get involved! :)
- Women's Serve - Friday, 7/19 - Soul City is partnering with Breakthrough for the Home Court program this summer - our night to host that event falls on the same night as our regularly scheduled meal serve. If you want to try something new and you're available earlier in the day (2:30-*ish - see below for details), then contact Caitlin and come on out for our Home Court event. If you'd rather cook or aren't available until closer to 7pm, we're still hosting our regular meal serve too. Lots of great choices for volunteering next Friday! :)
As always, just let me know if you're interested in and able to join us for a meal serve and I'll save a spot for you.
WANT TO GET YOUR COOK ON? LIKE FOR REALSIES?
Do you watch food network 24/7? Have fabulous ideas for feeding roughly 40 folks at a time? Or do you fancy yourself a chef? We're looking for folks to help lead meal serves! It would be great to offer our regular meal leads a break every once in awhile - but as our church grows, so does the possibility of taking on additional meal nights - or offering small group meal nights. Let me know if you're interested! :)
BEHIND THE SCENES TOUR
As you can tell from our Home Court program opportunity this month, Breakthrough is so much more than just a meal-serving opportunity. They have multiple programs for positively impacting the West Side of Chicago. Come out to one of their Behind the Scenes Tours to learn more about the many ways that Breakthrough is reaching out to folks living on the west side of Chicago. Tours are on the first Monday of each month. For more information or to register for the tour,click here.
HUNGER WALK 2013 - SUCCESS!
The Hunger Walk was a great success! Breakthrough was able to raise more than their goal of $10,000. A huge thank you to everyone that came out to walk/run or supported the event online! We couldn't have met our goals without you! Read more here.
Thanks, everyone! Hope to see you soon!
Love and Hugs!
