Maggie's Place Service Project

The Bartlett's 40 Days of CommUNITY small group served at Maggie’s Place, a home in the Parma area for expectant mothers who are homeless or in need of a safe haven to carry their babies to term.  They participated in a monthly work day and did some yard clean up for them.  They also toured the facility, met some of the staff and were blessed to have served them. They are hoping to return again in 2011 to serve.

40 Days Of Community Outreach - Anderson Small Group

What could be a better use and more fun on a Saturday than this:  a small group having a fantastic time doing yard work, some handyman repairs, and talking with an individual who recently had surgery for cancer and just started chemotherapy.  That's what our small group was able to do on a brisk October Saturday.  The woman we helped was a co-worker of one of the people in or small group.  It was one of those days that this is what God got us up to do today!  Thank God for the opportunity to be His hands and feet!

 Jeff at the ladder, Tommy picking up the piles and Harold works the mower.

 Kristin poses with the rake.  Funny thing is she never really used it.  She was serving inside on this mission trip.

 Even Tim and Michael were able to clear the calendar to serve with our small group.

 Some morning fuel to keep us moving!  Yeah for muffins!

Well, can you believe Tommy now has a new nick name - "leaf boy"

Outreach Pastor Candidating September 25-26

Jeff was raised in a wonderful Christian home just outside of Grand Rapids, Michigan. He graduated from Hope College with a degree in Business Administration and spent some time working in the business world. He has worked in commercial banking, real estate acquisition, and also owned a company that ran after school golf programs and summer camps for children. He and his wife Mollie have been married for three years and are expecting their first child in January.

In 2004 Jeff felt God calling him into full-time ministry and he enrolled at Moody Theological Seminary where he earned a Masters of Divinity. He has been serving with Oak Pointe Church in Michigan since 2007 and he is currently the Director of Missions and Outreach. He has a huge passion for the local church and loves seeing the body of Christ discipled and trained to reach out both locally and globally. He says, “When people give themselves away in love and service to others for the glory of God, the body of Christ grows and the church fulfills its role of making disciples.” “Jesus said, ‘I will build my church.’ The fact that we are able to be a part of that is humbling, yet incredibly exciting.”
Golf is by far Jeff’s biggest hobby, but he also enjoys just about any outdoor activity. He also loves traveling, reading, playing his oft-neglected guitar, and working on projects around the house. He is an avid Michigan State Spartan fan, so he dislikes the Wolverines just as much as everyone in Ohio. Jeff and Mollie love serving the Lord and desire to be in the center of His will for their lives.
