Community Ministries

Annual Report 07

Helping Hands / Helping Hands is a ministry designed to serve the local
and RBC communities through home maintenance and repair assistance.
In short, we provide “handyman” services to families in need.

For example, if you’re willing to fix a leaky sink, move a heavy object,
change a light fixture, paint, do some yard work or change a lock, Helping
Hands could use your help! We’re looking for volunteers of all skill levels
from those who are highly skilled, to those who simply have a heart to
serve.

We also partner with like-hearted organizations such as Habitat for
Humanity, Hearts & Hammers, and Rebuilding Together in renovating or
building homes for needy families.

Clothing Exchange / The Clothing Exchange is an annual clothing
give away for RBC church families and the local community. Once a year,
clothing is collected from the church body, sorted, and then made available
on a Saturday. You do not need to donate clothing to receive clothing.
Meeting people’s physical needs opens doors to meeting their spiritual
needs. A tract is handed out explaining Christ’s great exchange for our
sins, and information is also made available about the various ministries
here at RBC.

Leftover clothing is donated to various ministries. In the past clothing has
been sent to refugees in Afghanistan, children in Iraq, hurricane victims
in Florida, Crisis Pregnancy centers and to the poverty stricken in South
Carolina as well as several local ministries.

Tall Oaks Ministry / For eighteen years, Tall Oaks ministry has been
meeting the needs of the elderly living at Tall Oaks Fellowship House who
cannot get out to attend church services. Currently, members of RBC
minister on the first three Sundays of every month from 2:00 - 3:00 p.m.
Our service consists of praise, prayer and preaching of the Word and
visitation afterwards.

Sunrise Assisted Living Ministry / For more than six years,
Sunrise Assisted Living ministry has been meeting the needs of the elderly
living at Sunrise in Reston who cannot get out to attend church services.
Currently, members of the RBC minister on every other Sunday at 10:00
a.m. We conduct a service where we play familiar hymns then one of our
men teaches a message based on that hymn.
