Community Ministry
AME V-ALERT CANVASSERS NEEDED - Join us in making a difference! We are seeking volunteers to canvass the neighborhood and engage with our community as a church family. As a canvasser, you will have the important role of visiting residential areas, distributing "Register to Vote" information, and leaving door hangers. If you are passionate about civic engagement and want to be a part of this initiative, please reach out to Sister S. Fulmer to get involved.
DECORATORS IN CHRIST MINISTRY - A new ministry (approved by Pastor Mercedes) has evolved at Cain Memorial AME Church. The Mission of this ministry is to utilize everyone’s creative abilities, ideas, and suggestions while working together in unity and love. There are a few requirements that would allow the ministry to flow smoothly: for example, cutting, gluing, painting, or just a willingness to learn. To become a member without any of the above-mentioned abilities will not exclude you from becoming a member. Join the “Decorators in Christ Ministry” and help create beautiful displays in a workmanship environment that ushers in the Spirit in the presence of God. The next scheduled meeting is September 17, 2024, 10 – 11:30 A.M. in Noah’s Ark. For more information contact Sister G. Spencer, Lead Decorator.
CAPITAL FUNDRAISING MULTI-PURPOSE BUILDING FUNDRAISER – We urgently need your assistance! We are aiming to recruit as many church members as possible to establish a DOUBLE GOOD POPCORN pop-up store.

If you're interested in setting up a store, please reach out to Sister S. Gordon. This is an incredible chance to make a real difference and support our multi-purpose building efforts!
