Service Notes
 
At each of our five services today, we will collect money for our Ministerial Discretionary Fund. This fund is so that we will have some way of providing care for our fellow members and friends who find themselves without enough food or who can’t pay a bill … for those who’ve been unexpectedly laid off or who need just a little help with a prescription or receiving treatment - but, are uncomfortable asking. There is currently no active fund or line item in our budget that allows us offer the spirit of care to our fellow members in need. This fund allows us to be difference makers in the lives of our fellow members. Please give what you can to help out those struggling in our larger community. Thank you!
