Reaching Out With Love

Friends Reaching Friends (FRF) is an outreach mission ministry of Holy Sacrament Episcopal Church, addressing the needs of orphaned, sick, abused and underprivileged children since 1987.

On Saturday April 18th 2009 our Annual Dinner Dance was held at Signature Grand Banquet Hall and it was a great evening, DJ YoYo rocked the house. The Venerable Dr. Bryan A. Hobbs spoke on mission fundamentals, he was both entertaining and enlightening. All porceeds will go to support our local and foreign mission programs. The Dominican Republic Mission to Bonao, will be from JUNE 12st - JUNE 20TH and the Jamaican Mission to Falmouth, will be from JUNE 5th – JUNE 13th

Each year we promote missions at various churches and in 2004 we spoke at training seminars for new mission leaders. Our annual mission team to The Dominican Republic treat approximately 400 + underprivileged kids, dispensing medicines while holding a vacation bible school for another 200 + kids. In 2007 we delivered new mattresses for all the girls at Granville Place of Safety. In 2004 the Jamaica mission team built a computer lab at Granville Place of Safety for Girls, upgraded their office computers and engaged girls with daily devotional enrichment programs. Computers were also given to Clifton Boys Home, St. Monica’s Children Home and The Red Cross. We responded after Hurricane Charley hit Punta Gorda, clearing mounds of debris at The Church of the Good Shepherd. We sent an assessment team to Jamaica after hurricane Ivan with funds to start repairing storm damage to the three children’s homes we support and in addition gave supplies to Marigold Child Care Center. Each December we return on our annual Christmas trip, bearing gifts for all the kids and care givers at the two previous and current mission sites.

Find out more by attending our open mission meetings held at 7pm on the first Tuesday of each month.

Through our FRF missions, Holy Sacrament Church offers you a rare blessing; an opportunity to experience and be God’s hands at work. We pour our hearts out to these kids and they fill us up with God's grace.
