Missions & Ministry

A Message from Missions

The communion offering for March is for The Ronald McDonald House in New Brunswick that opened in 2005. The Ronald McDonald house provides a "home away from home" for families of seriously ill children receiving medical care at facilities throughout the New Brunswick area. There are 6 bedrooms with private baths. The smallest room can accommodate 3 people and the largest up to 6 people.  There is a full kitchen with 2 of each appliance and a food storage area for each family. They also supply laundry facilities, computers, an enclosed yard, and a playroom all supported by 24 hour staff. Please give generously to help support a much needed service in our community.

We will be collecting for our Missions/Sunday School Lenten project throughout the month. Our project this year will be Marty's Place Senior Dog Sanctuary in Allentown NJ. They are non- profit organization that provides a safe, loving and permanent home for senior dogs who have lost their homes due to owner death, financial hardship or neglect. They offer lifelong care including medical attention, special diets, enrichment and a homelike environment. They offer a dog swim center and programs for seniors to visit and interact with the dogs. Financial assistance to qualified seniors is available making it possible to keep a senior dog in their home when financial struggles may otherwise not be possible.

Besides a monetary donation, we will be collecting jewelry until March 22nd to support their 3rd annual jewelry fundraiser. Vintage, designer, costume and watches are accepted. No broken jewelry please. A drop box will be in Friendship Hall.  Please try to keep items from tangling by wrapping or bagging them separately.  Chewy and PetSmart gift cards are also accepted.

Thank you in advance for your help with our Lenten project.
