Community Out Reach for Women Embracing in our Community gives women an opportunity to participate in outreach and evangelism by providing ways to embrace and serve the community surrounding us through existing local ministries or those within our own church. These service projects are supported through practical help, prayer, and/or financial giving. This is the heart of our mission as Christian women, to reach out with the love of Jesus Christ. We have several opportunities to serve in C.O.R.E

February: “Baskets of Love” Baked goods honoring our community police & fire men & women.
April: “Baby Bottle Boomerang” Take home a baby bottle, fill with loose change and return to the church. Benefits First Coast Women’s Services.
September: Florida Baptist Children’s Home Diaper Drive for the State of Florida.
December: “Give a Gift to Give” Christmas gifts for the women & children of the Trinity Rescue Mission.

Mission Opportunities:  See the Missions Page on our church website for specific opportunities to serve, locally, nationally, and internationally.

The Great Commission 
“Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Matthew 28:18-20

GriefShare is a support group for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one. This is a 13 week DVD and workbook driven program designed to take you from Mourning to Joy. Classes are open to the community.

Our Helping Hands Ministry is a wonderful opportunity to share the love of Christ with a servant’s heart. We offer meal assistance to those who are not being cared for through a Sunday school class or other group. This is a short-term commitment intended to help families during times of illness, death or family crisis.

If you desire to connect with other women to grow in your faith, enjoy fellowship, develop friendships and find encouragement in your faith journey-consider joining one of our monthly discipleship groups. There are presently more than ten groups meeting on different days throughout the month. Times are based on what works best for each group.

Using the “IF Table” format of 6-7 ladies, 4 questions, 2 hours, and 1 simple meal once a month…women are building Christian community by engaging in Christ-centered conversations. If you are interested in joining a group or perhaps hosting in your home, call Linda Warne at 287-0996 or email at linda@fruitcove.com.

“They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.” (Acts 2:46)

Welcome to Jewels-Journey Ministry. A support group of widows dedicated to helping other widows through care, understanding, empathy and God’s Word.

If you would like to be included in mail-outs for our luncheons and other events, please contact Gwen May at 287-0996 (church office) or gwen@fruitcove.com to be added to our contact list. We also have the James Gang that is available to assist widow’s with any home maintenance issues. Contact the church office for more information.
