The Church Scattered: Marcia Orban and the Work of Clarity

The church gathers and the church scatters.  We are the church not only when we come together for worship, but also when we are sent out on mission!

Our church community is made up of an amazing group of individuals!  So many of those who call The Bridge their home church are engaged in ministry outside the walls of the building.  And this is the way it’s supposed to be!  You are the church “scattered” into your unique world of family, work, and neighborhood, and family.

This is the first blog entry in a series focusing on some of the ways Bridge Community people are serving in the world.

I asked Marcia Orban to tell us about the work she does in Elizabethtown at Clarity … Solutions for Women.

What is Clarity…Solutions for Women?

At Clarity, our mission is to serve Jesus Christ. He has called us to serve Him by serving a very specific group of people; those facing (or at risk for) an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy.

We serve our clients through a variety of programs. Check out our web site to see some of the services we offer.

Sharing the hope and healing found in and through Jesus Christ is the center focus of this ministry. We pray with and for our clients. We share the truth of the gospel and help clients grow in understanding of what it means to truly follow Christ.

Clarity is a ministry of the body of Christ. We are financed completely by donations from individuals, churches, Christian businesses, and organizations.

If you would like to be a part of what we’re doing, here are some ways you can help:

• Volunteer! We need volunteers to answer phones and greet clients, act as mentors, stock and organize the resource room, work with men, clean, do maintenance and yard work, help with special projects and mailings, and many other things. Want to learn more?  Email me.
• Pray! Many of our clients would like someone to regularly pray for them. Call us at 270-234-1122! We will be delighted to give you the first name of a client who desires prayer.
• Donate! We gladly accept donations of new or gently used maternity clothing, children’s clothing 0-4T, diapers, wipes, and baby equipment. We welcome financial donations.
• Walk! Our annual Walk for Life will be held September 18th. Join us for this fun, easy paced two-mile walk. If you can’t walk, sponsor someone who is walking!  Contact Tracey for more information on how to register.
