What kinds of interesting ministries does your church have?

I was chatting with my mom today and she was sharing about the Community Harvest they did this past Saturday. A farmer plants potatoes in his field and every Oct the community churches come together and harvest it for donation to food banks. This year they harvested 18,000lbs (8,181 Kgs)

My home church has a Wood Ministry...we cut and chop wood and give it to needy families so they can heat their homes in the winter. We deliver it and stack it for them.
We have a food cupboard. People can come and get food, diapers, vouchers for free milk and produce at the local grocery store.
We have a monthly soup kitchen.
We have a Men's Ministry that reaches out to widows and single parents who need odd jobs done around the house.
We have a community outdoor ice rink.

plus many more...

We have a cattle ministry that feeds thousands of people every year. We also have plots of land that people can garden and then collect the crops for families who need them, or for themselves if they need it.

My old church had a ministry that provided music lessons to low income children. While it's important to provide shelter and food, it's also very important to nurture a child's talents and gifts.

Your church sounds awesome! I'd start going there but it sounds like a long drive from California.

I collected a bunch of these on my blog. Here's a link: Outreach Ministries

We are part of 12 likeminded/theologicaly, churches who have supported/employed Christian teachers to go into the local schools to take assembles, religous education andsocialawarness/good cityzen lessons, lunch time and after school clubs.

We recently celebrated 30 years of this and currently have two primarly school teachers and one senior school teacher plus an army of volunteers running after school clubs in almost every school in our educational district.
