MISSIONS FOCUS

On the evening of Friday, March 1, “coffee” with Julius and Heleen will be held at the home of the Bischoffs to raise awareness of the ministry. The invitation below is extended to those in our church family who would like to learn more about this dynamic ministry.

Supporting Covenant World Relief & Development
During Lent we are collecting funds to support the work of Covenant World Relief & Development. CWRD’s mission is “to join God in loving, serving, and working in relationship together with the poor, oppressed, traumatized, and marginalized.” CWRD’s website describes these initiatives—disaster relief, clean water, refugee response, and refugee journey.

The values guiding how CWRD carries out its mission include representing the kingdom, working in mutual partnership with local organizations, strengthening local communities, and serving the most vulnerable.

The “Cans for Change,” available in the atrium, will be collected on Easter Sunday. Donations may also be made by check or via our church website.
