Mission Outreach
...Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
I John 3:18 (NIV)
October 20 is Mission Outreach Sunday to kickoff our Fall projects.
Come meet the team and learn about what we do!
Here's what else is happening on October 20th.
Bread Sunday Thanksgiving Food Collection and Winter Clothing Drive
It's our annual bread sale to collect funds for Family Sharing of Ozaukee County. Bake a loaf of bread, or muffins, or cookies to sell at church on Sunday, October 20. Then buy something for your own brunch.
During the service, you will receive a grocery bag with a list of food items to donate. The food collection helps provide Thanksgiving Dinner for our neighbors who otherwise would go without. Bring the bag back full of food, then take another, and repeat. We will collect food through Sunday, November 10th.
Winter Clothing Collection for Repairers of the Breach begins on October 20, too.
Look through your closets for winter clothing you no longer need and bring them to church to donate to Repairers of the Breach, a mission for homeless adults. The collection boxes will be at the church entrance and upstairs in the Narthex. The wish list for the homeless includes new underwear and socks for men and women, sweaters, jackets, and winter coats, hats, and gloves.
We serve at the St. Vincent de Paul Mealsite on Halloween! Come join us!
Meet us at the church at 4:00 PM, then we will carpool to All People's Church in the Harambee neighborhood. We will return at 6:30 PM.
We also take desserts and fruit with us. If you can help, bring your donations to the parlor by 4:00 PM and we will take them with us .

Ardel and Gordon Graner's visit to our Church
|
Ardel and Gordon Graner, our missionaries in the Dominican Republic, spent an evening with us on August 21, 2019. We learned about their work in Christian education among the churches they serve in the highlands near the Haitian border. In addition to providing educational workshops and support, they are distributing solar ovens and training people how to use them. The ovens are economical for families (they don't have to buy coal or wood) and are environmentally sustainable. The Graners host Volunteers in Mission, which include medical clinics set up in local churches.
