other outreach efforts - year round
Throughout the year we participate in many different ministries that are ongoing including providing meals & devotion to With Friends, Inc., assist with Crisis Assistance Ministries, partnering with Holy Angels, and more. During each fall and winter retreat we participate in an element of mission.
During the 2020-2021 pandemic we've done the following...
• Created "Friendly Neighbor Bags" for our neighbors without homes
• Nov. 22nd Outreach - fed 70 families from the Boys & Girls Club & Crisis Assistance Ministries along in partnership with First Presbyterian (Packed Thanksgiving Meal Boxes) (See picture)
• Wrote letters to shut-ins
