Driver/Ride support

Purpose

Hebrews 13:16 says, “And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” Some students of Faith Learning Center need a ride that can pick up and drop them off at school. Our school is looking for pairs of individuals who can coordinate their schedule to work together who are willing to use their vehicle and to sacrifice some of their time in the morning and afternoon to pick up and drop off those students who have trouble acquiring a bus pass and finding a ride. (NOTE – even one-way service would be appropriate and helpful – even just bringing students to school would be great for all concerned!
