How You Can Personally Help

It certainly does take a village…….

Ecclesiastes 4:9 tells us, “Two are better than one, because they will have a good return for their labor”. Give of your gifts, talents, and resources, as you are able. Nothing you can share is too small, as it will be joined with others’ gifts, talents, and resources for good.

Consider the following ways to connect with us:

  • Pray
  • Donate
  • Volunteer
  • Provide non-perishables for the Emergency Food Pantry
  • Provide a meal to feed volunteers of our Thursday evening clinic
