The Helping Hands Project
Each member of our church family has specific work experience, skills and talents. You have been gifted with many and varied economic, business and educational talents that can be shared with your fellow church members. Please help the FBCWP Women's Ministry put together a church-wide directory that will provide a voluntary listing of FBCWP membership work experiences, skills, talents, hobbies and the like – this involves all of you, whether actively employed, retired, homemakers – everyone. This directory will not contain any commercial ads and will list only the information voluntarily provided by each individual church member. The Helping Hands Project Director is Carol Hofen – and she needs help from all of you to make this vision a reality. The FBCWP ministerial staff will provide complete management oversight and support. Forms are available and returned to the Church Office.
