This week you are challenged to write/draw notes of encouragement for those who receive meals and snack packs from our church. With social distancing, our Friday Community Café has taken on a different look. Jennifer Myrick, Director of Missions, and a small team gather at the CLC on Friday mornings to prepare a meal for our homebound and community friends. Another small team arrives a little later to deliver the meals. Over 60 people in Fairhope, Daphne and Silverhill are being fed through this ministry. In addition, we are partnering with other churches and businesses to host meals for workers at the Baldwin County Emergency Management Agency and delivering snack packs to local hospitals and identified families who are in need of snacks for their children.

Along with a wonderful, hot meal and snacks, we want to offer some encouragement to those we are serving. Follow these easy steps to complete this week’s challenge …

Step 1: On regular notebook paper or copy paper, draw a colorful, happy picture; write a favorite scripture passage; write an encouraging message or even a prayer. Make one or as many as you like. Scan the note then email it to OR take a picture of the note with a smartphone then email it to the same address. As the notes come in, we’ll make copies!

Step 2: Take a picture of the notes you’ve created – be sure to include yourself and family in the picture! Then post it on Facebook, Instagram and/or Twitter and include #fairhopeumcwhateverittakes. For Instagram users, also tag @fairhopeumc in your post! If you’re not on social media, email your picture to and we’ll post it for you on the church’s social media accounts.
