Galations 5:13-14 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. …serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

| Every two months, we take a lasagna dinner, including desserts. to prepare for the men at Victory Home. We share a meal with the men and have a chapel service or listen to testimonies. It’s a great blessing of fellowship. | For one week, twice a year, we will open our doors to provide shelter for homeless children and their families overnight and provide them with dinner, a cold breakfast and sack lunch for the next day. This is a great time to fellowship with our neighbors, help kids with homework, play, talk, or hold a hand. |

Donations are accepted anytime. We encourage you to donate a dollar or two when you go to the altar for communion. This money is given to needy families at the pastor’s discretion — just a little something to get them through. Those receiving funds are told about the food bank and other help that is available. |

Matthew 25:35-36,40 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
“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.”
― John Wesley
