HOPE SERVED HERE

Heartland Church exists to love people to life and one way we do that is providing hope to those in our community who are in need of assistance. Our goal is not to simply distribute food and other material goods, but to develop lasting relationships that, over time, will encourage those who receive help to return and help others.

If you need assistance or want to volunteer to help, check out the tabs below to learn more.

 

November 6th

  1. GraceBridge Food Distribution at Heartland Church 

We will have our regularly scheduled “on-site” food distribution for First Saturday (did you know we also do an “off-site” distribution on the 3rd Saturday of each month?) We need your help serving our neighbors in need. We will have in-person food distribution at the church.  We will distribute food and personal care boxes and pray for all that come to bless their family. We will also take food to a local retirement community and serve 10-15 families there. We need 10-12 volunteers to help greet, pray, and load the boxes into the recipients’ cars and deliver them to the retirement apartments. To register for this project, click here.

  1. Gracebridge Food Distribution at Evergreen Vista Ridge

We will take food to a local retirement community and serve several families there. We need 5-8 volunteers to help deliver to the retirement apartments and pray with and encourage the recipients. To register for this project, click here.

  1. Prayer Warrior

This group will pray for each individual ministry/project taking place each First Saturday Serve. The idea would be to pray from 10am-1pm in a private room. Volunteers can also choose to join a specific project as a prayer warrior/encourager. To register for this project click here.

  1. Women’s Prison Ministry

We want to create a women’s prison ministry that encourages them to find strength in Jesus.  We will be preparing materials to send to them, encouraging notes and devotionals. To register for this project, click here.

  1. Homeless Outreach

We want to present the people in the most need in and around Carrollton with blankets and Bibles.  Our lead team has been planning and dreaming about this outreach and hope that you will come and help us be the hands and feet of Jesus to the homeless near us. We need 5-10 volunteers over the age of 18 years old for this project. To register for this project, click here.

  1. Single Parents Holiday Photoshoot

We are serving our community, particularly single parents, with a professional photoshoot. We need 4-6 volunteers to encourage and assist  our families in getting “picture ready” as well as assist the photographer to prepare for photoshoots. To register for this project, click here.

  1. Toys For Tots Motorcycle Run

Join us for the 5th Annual Denton County Motorcycle Run. We will meet at Heartland Church at 8:30am and we will leave at 9am to head to Sanger, where the ride will take place.

Join Us in Giving Hope this Christmas

Giving Hope is about giving children more than just a gift under the tree. By sharing the love of Jesus, we are giving them the lifelong gift of hope. Heartland Church is partnering with local elementary schools to identify families that need a little extra help to give their children Christmas this year.  We will host a special day of shopping at Heartland Church for these parents and share the love and message of Jesus Christ with each one.  We will also provide Bibles for each child and wrap every gift their parents lovingly selected.  This event starts now as we go and shop for these families and continues through the next 8 weeks as we receive and sort gifts. On December 18th we will host these families throughout the day at Heartland Church. We will need many volunteers to make this a true success.

BECOME A SPONSOR

We would like to invite you all to share the love of God by meeting the physical and spiritual needs of others through our Giving Hope Christmas Experience. By sponsoring a child through Giving Hope, you will personally provide gifts to help make their Christmas meaningful and show them the message of Jesus.

At Heartland Church, parents will be paired with a shopping host to personally select gifts for their children, have their gifts wrapped, and pray with our ministry team. Children will have their own special experience where they will enjoy crafts, snacks, and hear the Christmas story.

You can pick up a sponsor packet at the Giving Hope table in the Heartland Church lobby. Sponsor packets are available for children of all ages.

SERVE THE GIVING HOPE CHRISTMAS EXPERIENCE

Heartland Church be hosting a Christmas Shopping Mall Experience on December 18.

There are many ways you can serve at the Giving Hope Christmas Mall, including gift wrapping, prayer, kid’s crafts, hospitality and shopping inventory.
