Responses to recent disasters
(https://pcusa.org/disaster-assistance/how-help/give/active-disaster-response)
We come together to worship. We are sent out to be the church. We serve at church by share God’s love in Word and deed. We serve the world by relieving suffering in Christ’s Name.
We serve through the church itself as leaders, teachers, cooks, singers, liturgists, greeters, and countless other opportunities. Every ministry of this church is dependent on good hearted volunteer servants (like you).
We serve through our mission partners near and far. Our mission partners cover a wide range of needs, and accept our gifts of time and treasure. Each year, we promise and deliver 10% of our budget to mission partners.
Pastors remind us every Sunday, they are pastors, but we are the ministers. Our gifts of talent support the people through the ministries and programs of the church. Every ministry and program needs volunteers. How could you help?
