Central Virginia Raceway Ministries - NASCAR Race Weekend- April 30-May 1, 2010

CENTRAL VIRGINIA RACEWAY MINISTRIES

In association with Central Virginia Baptist Ministries

 

Ministry Service Opportunities Available

During NASCAR Race Weekend – April 30 & May 1

Richmond International Raceway (RIR)

800 East Laburnum Avenue

 

Central Virginia Raceway Ministries (CVRM) has been granted the unique opportunity once again to minister through RIR guest services to over 100,000 race fans during the upcoming May race weekend.  Many Volunteers are needed to serve as ambassadors of goodwill not just to provide race fans with the practical information about the raceway complex and services, but most importantly to be a witness of Christ’s love by offering them a chance to sit down in our tent to enjoy a cold drink and homemade cookies while listening to a Christian musician or be entertained by a clown or juggler, to read the Christian testimony of their favorite driver or view an inspiring video, to participate in worship services, or to receive crisis counseling, leading them to ultimately know HIS transforming presence.

If you are interested in volunteering with this dynamic ministry, check out the list of ministry opportunities below and pick out the ministry “shift” that best works for you.  You can contact Billy Davis by April 15 to sign up or sign up when you attend the Volunteer Orientation meeting on Tuesday, April 20.  Come join us as we share God’s love at the races and in the race of life!
