YARDS Ministry

There is a new ministry at Living Hope. YARDS…Yard Army of Redeemed Dudes, is a group of Living Hopers who recognize the need for yard care among our members unable to mow grass, trim driveways, rake leaves, clear small tree branches and do general cleanup. We have 10 volunteers who have offered to help on their off days and weekends. In addition, Hope Center Ministries has provided us “ground troops” from their clients. With rakes, blowers, mowers and willing hands, YARDS teams look to draw us even closer as a church, caring for those without the means to do a lot of heavy duty lawn care. So far, we’ve completed 2 yards and my, my…they looked good after the army left. Are you buried under Fall leaves? Are you physically unable to rake and cleanup your yard? Are you limited in your options? YARDS can help. Typically, 4 to 6 of us can get the job done. So far this month, Gib has encouraged us to show up and be distinct as we approach life as disciples of Jesus, joined together as a Living Hope of His life and love in us. We joyfully give what we have to the needs of our Believer family.

We would love to enlist anyone that can help. In the Spring and Summer, we will need a pickup or trailer to transport lawn mowers. For now, all you need is a willing heart, 2 hours to give periodically, gloves and a smile. If you have a leaf blower and sturdy rake, bring it. YARDS will provide much of the same type equipment. Please call or email me if you want to enlist in YARDS, have a need or are aware of a yard that may need our army.
