Bible Ministry
Access to a Bible isn't always easy. JOY recognizes this and is dedicated to providing Bibles to those without one through various events held at JOY during the year, at the church office, and on Sundays at our worship site. If you have a need for a Bible or know someone who does, call the church office at 281-458-3231. The purchase of these Bibles is made possible largely through donations. If you would like to donate Bibles or would like to help purchase Bibles, please call the office or send an email to . All calls and emails will be directed to our Bible Ministry.

Sleeping Mat Ministry
One of our newest groups is made up of people who can crochet or are learning how to crochet. They have honed their crocheting skills by making portable sleeping mats for the homeless. The only materials needed are plastic bags and a crocheting needle. The mats are entirely made of the bags, are cushiony, and can be toted easily just about anywhere. They serve as portable beds in areas where these are desperately needed. Watch the "mat video" to learn how to make these mats or see Carolyn Davis for more information.

Biker Blessing
Wherever bikers gather in friendship to appreciate the joys of riding, they are truly blessed. What a pleasing way to bring God into JOY's first biker event by having Pastor John give a simple blessing over the bikes and riders.

Cereal Sundays
The first Sunday of every month is Cereal Sunday at JOY. Just one box of cereal can help someone not be hungry before going to school or work each day. What a blessing that would be for someone who otherwise would be hungry! Please bring what you can and drop it in the cereal basket on those Sundays so it can be taken to North Channel Assistance Ministries and distributed to families who need it the most.

AniMeals Ministry
Pet food is almost a luxury for people who are poor and have pets. Some seniors actually share their own food with their pets because they can't afford to buy them their own. Thus, these seniors have less to eat to stay healthy. JOY collects pet food from people who bring it on Sundays. This pet food is then delivered right to the doors of seniors for their beloved pets. Rosemarie (Mary) Brown heads this ministry and helps distribute the food. If you would like to help this cause, call the church office at 281-458-3231 to get in touch with Mary. God bless her efforts.

Threads of JOY
This ministry crochets and knits prayer shawls and lap throws and gives them to individuals to testify God's love for them. Shawls are personalized. The goal is to make 120 or more to give away to Silver Springs Nursing Home in December. Carolyn (Sister) Davis leads this group. Contact her at 281-458-3231 if you would like to get involved.
