February Mission Focus

Jesus reminds us in Matthew 25:35-36, "For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger, and you invited me in, I needed clothes, and you clothed me, I was sick, and you looked after me, I was in prison, and you came to visit me." Through our 'in kind' offerings, we embody these words, extending our love to those experiencing vulnerability and adversity.

In the spirit of love and community, our Mission & Outreach Committee has recognized this month's mission offering, focusing on extending a helping hand to those in need during the chilly winter months. As a church family, we recognize the power we have to make a meaningful impact when we come together to support our local ministries. This month, we invite you to participate in an opportunity to give 'in kind' donations of physical items that will bring warmth and comfort to those facing the cold, as well as snacks for those who are hungry.

In collaboration with two local ministries, A Place to Be and Haven of Rest, our goal is to provide essential items that will make a significant difference in the lives of individuals navigating the challenges of winter. Instead of monetary donations, we are seeking offerings of individually wrapped snacks, gloves, and hats. To facilitate your generous contributions, collection bins will be placed outside the sanctuary and fellowship hall. For those who wish to tailor their donations to the specific needs of Haven of Rest, a document listing their current requirements will be available alongside the collection bins. This ensures that our contributions align with the immediate needs of the ministry, maximizing the impact of our collective generosity.
