SonRise Outreach...Piercing the Darkness

"Master, what are you talking about? When did we ever see you hungry and feed you, thirsty and give you a drink? And when did we ever see you sick or in prison and come to you?' Then the King will say, 'I'm telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me—you did it to me." Matthew 25:40

Our outreach ministry here at First Church is expanding to reach out right here in Williamson County. The Austin CUB (Church Under the Bridge) ministry has made some changes and is no longer holding Tuesday night bible study for the homeless. Since this bible study was where we spent most of our time and resources, we have decided focus our time in Round Rock. We will always have a small hand in the CUB program but will direct most of our efforts locally. SonRise Outreach will be partnering with local organizations doing projects that will involve our entire community. As we go forward there will be many opportunities for you to be a part of this evolving ministry.

Angel Tree Project

In November and December we have been helping with the Angel Tree project which provides gifts for the foster children of Williamson County. Thanks for your support!

 
December/January Focus
We are collecting socks and underwear for the Round Rock ISD and the Round Rock Area Serving Center. There are collection bins in the Sanctuary foyer and the Family Life Center. While you are out Christmas shopping, why not pick up some socks and underwear and donate to someone in need?
