A Service-Oriented Church

In a time when more people than usual are experiencing reduced or even non-existant household incomes, in a time when more people are hungry and in need, that's when the local church needs to take action and be the forerunner in caring for those exact people.

Our staff was just recently overwhelmed at the responses our church made in regards to two opportunities to help those in need.

First, the numbers of our members who signed up to assist with the Blessing Baskets ministry were more than we've ever had.

And second, our food pantry (which, as you know, is in place so that we can help those who come to the church that are hungry) was running critically low recently. In response to the shopping bags that were placed on windshields a couple of Sundays ago, the pantry is overflowing! However, in the times we are in, the needs we see are constant, so please keep bringing non-perishables to the food pantry so that we can continue to meet the physical needs of those in our community.


Again, we can't say enough how thankful we are to have such a giving body of believers. Y'all are great.
