Looking for Your Helping Hands
Are you handy? Can you follow instructions and swing a hammer?Our lovely old building needs many hands to help with ongoing maintenance and repairs. We are recruiting for a volunteer building and maintenance crew!For information about being involved, contact Mason HERE.
MCCP is in the process of looking for a new ministry home! We remain in communication with a site in which we're interested, but we're seeking other options, too. You can help! Be on the lookout for:
A vacant or underutilized building which we could use or renovate for our use. It does not need to be a church, but we need 10-20,00 square feet.
A "close-in" Portland location is preferred, but anywhere in the metro area will be considered.
We're happy to share! If you know a property owner with suitable space or another group also looking, we want to talk with them.
If you discover anything for us to explore, contact Karen Andrews HERE.
