Our Ministries
Vision Committee
The Vision Committee has been communicating again this year with Safer Futures, a Portage County shelter that houses and supports families who find themselves unsafe at home due to domestic violence. Suddenly seeking shelter means leaving most personal possessions and favorite toys behind.
Christmas is an especially hard time to be away from home and the perfect time to bless these families with the love of Christ. See the list of items on the ‘Holiday Wish List’ that are always welcome. A bin labeled ’Safer Futures' will be available in the Narthex.
Please have donations in the church no later than December 21.
Thank you.
