Street Pastors

What: Join a team from Capital City Vineyard serving the Lord on MSU campus. Pass out hot chocolate and coffee to students as they walk by and engage in conversations. This ministry's focus is to encourage students with a Christian background in their walk with the Lord and find a church in the area, let people know about HOPE (House of Prayer East Lansing), engage students in thought provoking conversations, and most of all, show all we come in contact with the unfailing Love of Christ. We have young people as well as adults that come out and would LOVE to have you join us!  The vision is to be able to have more than one table set up in the area. Right now we are in need of more volunteers to make this possible!
