Dear brothers and sisters,

All of us here at Carpenter Place are so grateful for the support of our

brothers and sisters in Christ. We know there are many opportunities that

you consider every year and we so appreciate your desire to help children

and families in crisis.

Thank you for the bags of groceries collected for the grocery run.

Helping the residents of Carpenter Place means improving the future for

not only them, but for the community of family and friends that they will

eventually influence. Every young person who leaves here, better able to

manage emotions and behaviors will have more positive relationships.

Every young person who graduates from high school and/or college will be

a much better candidate for meaningful employment. And every young

person who has taken to heart the spiritual teaching and examples from

the mentors who surround them will be equipped to make good and

moral choices.

Congregational support is a vital part of our income which is generated

solely from private gifts. Thank you for helping Carpenter Place fulfill a

mission of service. As always, you are welcome on our campus anytime.

Sincerely,

Ben Zickafoose

Carpenter Place CEO

Sunday Night Ministries

Welcome Visitors

It can be intimidating to be in a new place, but we want you to know that you are welcome here. At East Point we are trying to "BE CHURCH" in such a way that Jesus' passion is our purpose.

If we can help you in any way, please let us know. Our shepherds, ministers, ushers, worship leaders, Bible class teachers--really anyone you can identify as a member here--will be eager to help address your questions or needs. So do not hesitate to ask questions if you have them. We want to serve like Christ served.

If you would fill out a white attendance card, we would love to have your contact information so we can talk with you soon!
