WedWednesdayFebFebruary22nd2012 Your Sweater Giving... Doubled!

Because we were able to raise enough funds to purchase sweaters for every child in our Kenya Village, Bishop William was able to negotiate a reduced price for the sweaters of only $6 each. Thanks to your great generosity, we will now be able to provide sweaters for all of the children in a neighboring village as well! What a blessing!

The Council on Ministries is a meeting of the leaders of each ministry in the church. Representatives are nominated each year and meet together to discuss future ministries, needs, and share their successes. We have now started posting the minutes of the COM meetings.

WedWednesdayFebFebruary1st2012 Giving Back

A young woman came in to the church office today with a load of canned goods to donate to God Can. A couple of years ago, she was in need of financial assistance and was referred to us by GRACE. The church gave her funds from the Benevolence Fund to help pay her rent. And now she wanted to pay back the favor by giving back. In celebrating her boyfriend's birthday, she asked all of their friends to bring canned goods instead of gifts. Today, she filled up one God Can shelf and part of another, and hopes to be back with more canned goods the next time they have a party with their friends! The circle of giving continues...
