John Wesley told us to "Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can." Our Missions Committee encourages all members to care for people in our community, through our Emergency Assistance Fund and Food Pantry, our outreach to the hungry through Angel Food Ministries and participation in Breakfast for the Homeless, Faith in Action Caregivers and Comfort House. We care for those far away through Mission Trips to places like Nicaragua and Russia, and through fundraising projects to assist many in need around the world. Contact Missions Chair Rev. Sue Abold to help!

Imagine No Malaria

Imagine No Malaria is the United Methodist church-wide effort to overcome malaria in Africa and eliminate deaths caused by this preventable disease — a goal world leaders hope to accomplish by 2015. Overcoming Malaria will require educating communities and health care workers, developing health care infrastructure and making advancements in healthcare communications as well as net distributions. Our Church will kick off a campaign to raise funds for "Imagine No Malaria" after Easter. We want to involve the entire congregation in this effort through imaginative projects by and for adults, youth and children. Visit ImagineNoMalaria.org.
