Outreach Ministry

The opportunities for ministry at Real Life allow us to live out our vision as we extend Christ’s love to others and empower them to do likewise.

RLCC has had several block parties at the England Run Apartments and at the Village of England Run this past year with food, games, and moon bounces, children and parents from the surrounding apartments were blessed, as were the RLCC volunteers who helped out. We’re  planning to continue the block parties during the spring, summer and fall months each year. 

Other outreach opportunities have included: participation in the Relay for Life; providing food and fellowship at the homeless shelter; distribution of batteries for smoke detectors to homes in England Run; sponsoring a Community Day at Gayle Middle School; providing assistance to England Run apartment fire victims; sponsorship of a refugee family from Sudan; providing school supplies to children at Gayle Middle School, a free car wash at Burger king and Real Life provided the opportunity for Real Life families to share Christmas gifts with the children at the homeless shelter.    

Ongoing outreach opportunities include our;  community food distribution ministry which occurs each Sunday morning at 8:30, a bible study each Sunday morning from 8:30 to 9:15 allows us to minister to those coming for food.  Members from Real Life went to South Africa in September 2007 to assist a new church plant in Kroonstad and in 2010 did holiday bible clubs with over 700 children with two churches near Winterton in South Africa.  We are planning another trip in the Spring of 2013 to Kenya to work with children in the school the church helps to support.  Watch the outreach calendar for opportunities to live out the gospel of Jesus Christ.  For additional information about Real Life Outreach opportunities contact Alicia Tillman at aliciatillman(at)comcast(dot)net or 540.845.8166.
