South
Street Ministries is Christ Community Chapel’s featured SOS (Simple
Opportunities to Serve) ministry partner in August.
Do not be conformed to
this world, but be transformed by the renewal
of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is
good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 12:2 ESV
God is in the business
of renewing His creation.
The mission of South Street
Ministries is the collaboration of unlikely partners
taking shared risks to renew our community for Christ’s sake. South Street works on behalf of inner city
kids through after school homework assistance, its Bike Shop, which teaches
responsibility, skills and the joy of earning a bike, its Youth Garden, and a
wide range of other ministry programs.
God wants His Church
to work for that renewal.
Believers are saved for a purpose.
To be the hands and feet of Jesus to the less fortunate. This includes not just
donating our treasure, but also our time and talent. Going ‘hands on’ in God’s work for others is
a sure way for our minds to be renewed, and our hearts softened.
How can I go ‘hands on?’

Give:
Donate a used bicycle for South
Street’s Bike Shop. Youths of all ages come and earn a bike by working
for a set number of hours. This program
is possible through the donations of bikes from our supporters. Kids from the neighborhood are taught how to
fix a brake-line, repair a flat tire, etc.
Bikes are repaired and earned every Monday and Wednesday night
throughout the summer.
To donate a
used bike, simply drop it off at CCC Hudson Campus in the back of the building
(at the rear entrance to the kitchen.)
There will be a trailor parked there – simply leave it in the
trailor. We will deliver the bikes for
you to South Street.
For more
information, contact Barbara Ammirati at:

If you do
not have a used bike to donate but would like to help, you can give a donation
towards a bike by dropping your donation off at the church office receptionist
desk Monday through Thursday 8:30am to 4:30pm or Friday 8:30am to noon. Please mark your donation “SOUTH STREET BIKE
SHOP”
