STAIR 3.0 is an incredible program that continues to yield amazing results! This bi-weekly program offers one-on-one tutoring sessions to 3rd-graders at Hayes K-8 to help improve their literacy skills. In the fall, we will seek volunteers for Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 3:15 pm to 4:15 pm. You can sign up for either day or both days.
If you're looking to make a difference in a child's life, consider signing up for STAIR 3.0. Students genuinely look forward to these encounters, and word is spreading—more children are clamoring to know more about this empowering experience! For further information, please contact Evelyn Puckett, Social Services Coordinator.
We need volunteers to assist in transporting our #5 Plastics to Community on the Rise! Our box has been overwhelmed with plastics lately, and we need your help to keep this opportunity going! SUVs and trucks are recommended for transportation of the super sack due to its size. The #5s drop-off times at Community on the Rise are Mondays from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm. Community on the Rise is located at 112 14th St. N, next to Church of the Reconciler.

Join us for a week of service and adventure! We’ll travel Sunday, June 8 after church and return Saturday, June 14. During this trip, we will work with the PDA and WNC to do some light construction work in the Canton area, helping to rebuild and restore homes that were affected by Hurricane Helene. We’ll be staying in a couple of homes on Cataloochee Mountain. We will also be traveling together by bus, allowing for fellowship and connection along the way. The cost for the trip is $200, which will help cover travel and other expenses. Afternoons include hikes and waterfall visits, plus morning and evening worship. This trip is a wonderful service opportunity for anyone 14 years old and up. If you have questions, contact Rev. Seamon. If you are ready to join us, complete our interest form by April 10.
