When Ruth Szucs, Music Associate at FBC, looked for her place in KOH2RVA, she decided to become a catalyst for missions. She’s chosen a project for each month and is enlisting different people to help each time.
October’s project was teacher appreciation for Glen Lea Elementary School in Henrico County. FBC staff contributed items and Ruth provided baking supplies. Three 11th graders baked and made signs. Ruth, her husband, Richard, and Steve Blanchard, Minister of Compassion, delivered the box of treats.
In November Ruth is getting help from the Carol Choir with a toy drive; in December she’s asking her neighborhood to help supply blankets for those in need. Her ideas of what to do and who can help continue through the year. And when next October comes around? She’s going to start all over again.
