Missions & Ministry

A Message from Missions

Thank you to everyone that contributed to the Lenten project through the Chili cook-off, the Sunday School bake sale or donations in the church bank. Special thanks to the Sunday school and to Nicholas for making our Church Lenten bank. We don't have the final count but we raised around
$700 to be used to help people and animals that were impacted by the Los Angeles fires.

The communion offering for May is for Catholic Charities. They provide quality services with dignity and respect to the poor, vulnerable and people in need to improve quality of life. They are dedicated to helping individuals and families reach their full potential while advocating or a more just and compassionate society. Their outreach is family focused while not duplicating already existing services. They focus on health, shelter, housing and counseling. They are one of the highest rated charities and have locations across the United States and abroad.

The month of May we will be collecting old eyeglasses for the Lions Club in Milltown. They are a service organization that actively recycle and distribute them to those in need within their local communities and in developing countries. They have a global network of recycling centers to with partners to collect, clean sort and distribute the glasses. This not only helps those in need but helps in recycling to aid our environment.

The Friday before Memorial Day is designated as National Poppy Day. The American Legion exchanges poppies for donations. The donations are used to provide financial and medical support to veterans and their families in need. We will have some poppies and a donation can in Friendship Hall on Sunday May 18th and 25th.

Please give generously to help the mission projects of the church.

Happy Mother's Day as we celebrate all the women who have influenced us in our lives.
