5th Monday Meal

FPCSS hosts a quarterly Community Meal for the Sand Springs Community. This dinner reaches out to our neighbors to offer a good meal and great fellowship. All are welcome and no on is turned away. A donation of $1.00/meal is suggested, but not required. Canned food donations are also accepted and given to Restore Hope Ministries. We sit down together, perhaps as strangers, share good meal, and leave as friends in our community of Christian fellowship.

The meal is served very 5th Monday at 5:30 pm in the Fellowship Hall. (enter through the South doors off Adams Road)

The Embangweni School for the Hard of Hearing

The Embangweni School for the Hard of Hearing was founded in 1994 at the urging of Mr. M.B. Hara and the Rev. Lloyd Tembo,on the Embangweni (Loudon) Mission Station. It was the first school for the deaf in the northern part of Malawi and is a boarding school serving 200 students and has a faculty of 12, plus a head teacher and a junior head teacher. The faculty includes three deaf instructors who teach woodshop, tailoring and creative arts. A support staff of about 15 do the cooking, gardening and provide security.

The school serves students ages 6 to 21. The standard Malawian curriculum is used; in addition all classes include continued work on sign and oral communication. After completion of standard course work students may be accepted for secondary school or may move to the Vocational Education program, to learn advanced woodworking and tailoring skills, which they use to earn a living in the hearing world.

Vision for Children

Vision for Children is a charity benefiting kids to ensure all kids are able to SEE and have full access to the possibilities of clear sight. Uncorrected vision conditions or eye health problems create many barriers in life, academically, socially and athletically. High-quality eye care can break down these barriers and enable children to reach their highest potential. Vision for Children provides comprehensive eye exams for early detection and treatment to provide the best opportunity to correct vision problems early.

Haiti Education Foundation

In Haiti, the poorest country in the western hemisphere, private schools are the only schools and very few families can afford even the most modest tuition. The Haiti Education Foundation (HEF) makes a difference in the lives of the children of Haiti, helping Haitian girls and boys learn to read, write, master a trade, and study God’s Word. HEF provides hope for children, families, villages and a country by providing free public education.

Medical Benevolence Foundation

The Medical Benevolence Foundation supports FSIL, the only baccalaureate nursing school in Haiti. FSIL’s unique full baccalaureate curriculum is preparing Haitian nurses to develop the problem solving and critical thinking skills needed to practice patient centered, competency based nursing care. The nursing program has been designed to train Haitian nurses to provide medical care in their home communities. Students receive clinical training at nearby Hôpital Ste. Croix, where they get their first opportunities to help provide professional care for patients. Students receiving scholarship support commit to serving 2 years in Haiti following graduation and do not receive their diplomas until the service requirement is fulfilled.
