The Mission Team is grateful for your continuing support of our mission projects.
We are blessed! Our clothing supplies are growing, with need for a few sizes. Our Wednesday volunteers are not only church members, but community volunteers. We are opening our Clothes Sanctuary for our community to shop on Tuesdays from 4-6:00 p.m., as well as Fridays from noon-2:00. God provides.
We need volunteers for these dates, and always more help on Wednesdays.
Our Clothing Sanctuary is Really Helping Our Community.
And Now We Can Celebrate That It's Been Open for 3 Years!

Sending out a big "Thank You" to the "First United Methodist Church." During the month of November they held a food drive for the "Free Friday Friendship Lunch."
Churches Working Together, it's truly a blessing!

MISSION MOMENTS – November 2024
Returnable bottles and cans:
Since we started returning bottles and cans in May of 2012, Jackie Brazo has returned 10,000 items. This has resulted in $1,000 going toward our mission trips.
We will continue to collect clean, rinsed out, not squashed cans and bottles in the wooden box between the doors at the circle drive entrance. But now, the money will go towards “Water for Life” in Liberia. Please continue to support this worthwhile project.
Projects and Special offerings for missions:
St. John’s Free Friday Lunch
For our November project, we will assist St. John’s Friday free lunch program. Grocery bags with a list of suggested items will be available for you to support this wonderful ministry.
Salvation Army Food Drive
After service each September Sunday, the grocery cart food was delivered. There is a continuing need, so if you wish, you may continue to drop off staple items directly.
Christmas in July - Hillman House DASAS Domestic Assault Shelter. We dropped off a van full of supplies after our tree was up for the month of July.
Liberian Water 4 Life buckets - $784.70 since June
In June we began partnering with a long standing conference initiative supporting the Liberian Methodist church. Again we will be passing the buckets on the first Sunday to support one of their ongoing projects, Water for Life. Since 2008 there has been a project to rescue communities and residents from poor living conditions by constructing wells to provide safe drinking water and provide for sanitation needs.
