On Feb. 25, Sojourn Community Church will turn its midtown campus into a free clinic and health fair serving basic medical needs for the surrounding neighborhoods. The clinics offer nurses stations, doctor’s offices, vision and dental areas, a Family Care Area with non-perishables and clothes, educational information, even a salon with licensed cosmetologists, nail techs and a masseuse. Everyone going through the clinic – last August, we served over 200 people – is accompanied by a Sojourn Advocate, someone to journey with them through the process and make them feel more comfortable.

And while our clinic always depends on one-day servants to operate, this February we’re giving the opportunity for a few Sojourn community groups to be involved in a more extensive way: Adopt the Medical Clinic.

Gimme Some Details …

We’re not calling you to adopt the whole medical clinic, of course. You’ll simply be responsible – under the guidance of a Med Clinic leader – for set up and take-down of one particular area. Here’s what it involves …

On Friday, Feb. 24, we’ll gather at our midtown campus (930 Mary St.) at 6 p.m. Each group will receive its set-up direction – tables, chairs, etc. – from the area leader, complete with printed room “blueprints.” Once set-up is finished (which shouldn’t take very long), the groups will be provided dinner, and we’ll spend a bit of time praying for the next day’s events. Our goal is to have everyone finished by at least 8:30 p.m.

On Saturday, Feb. 25, show up at The 930 at 10:30 a.m. We’ll tour the clinic again, perform any last minute tweaks to the rooms, and then spend some time praying. At 11, we’ll read from God’s Word, have a short devotion, and listen to a quick rundown of our various responsibilities during the rest of the afternoon. The clinic is open from noon to 4 p.m. Once everyone has made it through the clinic, everyone will help with taking down tables, folding up chairs and cleaning their areas.
