"Operation Warm Coats" & Family Services Partnering Together to Help Norristown Families





On October 27th-29th Family Services & PFF partnered together to distribute new coats to families in need! "Operation Warm Coat" a national program donated over 700 coats to the community. This was another opportunity to partner with community agencies to help those in need. We're excited about this new partnership with Family Service and look forward to collaborating additional programs utilizing our facilities as a distribution center and future family services.

2008/09 Youth Basketball Ministry Begins




On Monday October, 26th was the first night to begin our Youth Basketball Ministry after taking a summer break. Ministry leaders George (Faith Church), Rick Sterley (Valley Worship Center) and Bill Borgard (Fairview Village Church) began the evening introducing new Executive Director Brian Akamine and Family. They were excited to see the new renovation and building improvements too! The Norristown Youth were given an overview of this year's program which will include interactive devotions, DVD excerpts provided by Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and future basketball clinics and testimonies from college & professional athletes. It is our vision to form a basketball team to compete with other local basketball organizations.

This ministry is looking for additional ministry-minded volunteer coaches and is open to the public. For more information contact Rick Sterley at 610 637-1058.
