Crossroads Christian Church has been a major supporter of Andy and Janet McNeely in the establishing of Front Porch Christian Church in the York Road Corridor of Baltimore, MD. For the past 5 summers, a team has traveled to Baltimore to spend time helping Andy and his staff shows God’s love to the people in this community.
One of the projects that we have sponsored each year is to collect school supplies for Govans Elementary School in that community. Govans is a school whose children are from families who struggle to provide the necessities of life. So it has been our joy to help collect basic school supplies and in a small way, bring hope and a pathway to success to these children. Sandi McFadden, who is the Community Relations Director at Govans, and also on staff at Front Porch, sent this note to us:
Please know that Govans School appreciates and is grateful for your support through missionary service and all of the school supplies you have provided for our children. We cannot say THANK YOU enough times. May God continue to bless the labor of your hands and return to you the outpouring of love and grace that you have shown to us through these wonderful years of partnership!
Here is a list of the supplies that we are collecting during the month of August. Our team will deliver them when we travel to Baltimore over Labor Day weekend.
