FAITH IN ACTION
Please come join Bartlett Chapel in its "faith in action" ministry, when the
congregation periodically opens it doors and goes out into the community to do
community service. Projects will change somewhat as the program matures.
Initially we will be picking up trash along SR 267 between mile markers 11 and
13, picking up trash around Clarian Hospital, making cards for shut-ins & others
needing special attention, hosting a free car wash at the church, leading a
prayer walk through the community, and holding a prayer vigil, etc. There will be
service projects for all ages! Come be a part of Jesus' Great Commission.
