We are presently working with other local churches in an ecumenical effort to help homeless families get back on their feet and off the streets. The Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) is a unique ministry that allows churches to care for families on a rotational basis until they are able to move back into their own home. 

Virtual Giving Tree...Always a Giving Season

The Outreach Ministry would like to remind us of opportunities to give to local organizations through our virtual giving links.  Below you will find some of the agencies that sell gifts as fundraisers for their work as well as those which seek your donations of money and time.  In the coming weeks more agencies will be added as our "giving tree" grows.
