Community Outreach

Northpointe, The River, Mt. ZIon and Life Bridge churches, along with over 20 service organizations joined forces for another amazing Neighborhood Block Party at Toby Lawless School this past weekend.  Activities included games for the kids, food, live music, and drawings throughout the day with a couple kids going home with new bikes! Everyone seemed to enjoy the activities AGAIN this year and the weather was beautiful!  To top off the day, community Food Bank handed out bags of produce to the families as they left for home.

Thanks to everyone who made this day memorable and fun for the whole neighborhood!

This video tells the whole story even better than words!  ENJOY!

“The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.” Genesis 2:15

God cares for the city and He cares for the aesthetic beauty within it as well. He calls us to be good stewards in our community, “to work it and take care of it”, and the Church Body is carrying out that calling here in Fresno!

This past week, ENP had the opportunity to hang out with three teams of very energetic and tenacious middle and high school students from People’s Church. These students were a great blessing to the City of Fresno staff by helping to get a few projects off of their to-do list. The goal: to beautify our city!

One very determined and hardworking team cleared out weeds from the side of one of Fresno’s major streets, while a second team painted over graffiti on about a mile of walls in downtown Fresno. The last team spent their time investing in a neighborhood park, painting stripes on the parking lot, weeding flower beds, sanitizing playground equipment, sweeping sidewalks and raking!

We at ENP continue to be impressed by this younger generation’s energy and willingness to pour into our city! God is at work and we are thankful to be witness to that, and happy to assist them in their efforts!
