Benevolence Ministry A work of the church through our Community Missions Committee that provides groceries, lodging and other assistance to families who are in need.
Thanksgiving Day Ministry Each year our church prepares and provides lunch on Thanksgiving Day for more than 150 people in our community. People who are alone for one reason or another or who are not physically able to prepare their own meal. We also provide meals to those people who are required to work in public service roles on Thanksgiving Day. We see this as an opportunity to visit, pray with, and encourage those less fortunate in our community, and to express our thanksgiving to God by sharing with others.
