This caring board serves to support individuals or families who have a physical or financial need.  They will pay for food, housing assistance, rent, utilities, etc.  Almost any one-time or short term need will be considered.  The ministry assistance is done in complete confidence, and the privacy of those helped is strictly respected.

          Funding comes primarily from free will offerings given by those in our congregation.  Offerings are usually taken each communion Sunday, with collection boxes at the rear of the Sanctuary.

Who to contact: Church Office at 233-4048, Pastor Ed Strom or a Board Member
