We have had a great opportunity this past year to "Join God in our Neighborhood". To pray, to help and to learn as well.
Current Community Ministries
From the Kitchen:
From The Kitchen is a ministry where our volunteers make and deliver food items monthly to people from our church family and others in our community. It is a ministry of love and friendship, providing opportunities for conversation and the Love of Christ to be shared and expressed to those around us.
The Community Garden:
No fancy name or fancy plots, just simple space and opportunity for people to grow something. For us as a church, we are sharing our love and joy in what God has blessed us with through sharing our property and facility.
Weekly Prayer Letters:
Throughout most of the year we have a volunteer who creates a prayer letter that is mailed out (yes, mailed out!) to those in our church family who for various reasons may not be able to attend and take part in ways that they once did. These letters help provide an opportunity for us to connect with these folks and let them know they are loved and remembered. Best of all, we are all able to unite in our prayers throughout the week.
