As we reach the midpoint of our annual generosity campaign, we are reminded of how blessed we are to be part of a community rooted in support, nurture, and care. In a world often marked by division and uncertainty, it’s a profound gift to witness the unity and fellowship that flourishes here.
Our Joy in Learning Ministry provides a glimpse into the breadth and depth of how we serve, grow, and find joy together. Consider the past summer, when members generously shared their time and skills to support our refugee community providing practical workshops on presentation skills, mock interview prep, cooking, gardening, financial planning and public speaking. Each week, volunteers lead activities in tai chi, mah-jong and chess, fostering learning and connection. Our sewing and crochet crews have worked with Preston Taylor Ministries, Strick’s Gift, Renewal House and Westminster Home Connection to provide baby blankets, washcloths, burp cloths, scrubbies, soap and dishcloths. Every child baptized in our sanctuary receives a knitted baby hat lovingly created by members. Our pottery team has helped participants of all ages and the Writers’ Roundtable continues to inspire creativity and fellowship in our café each week.
These activities are just a few examples of how our community shines as a beacon of hope and light. And they are all made possible by your generosity. No matter what the need may be, you have stepped up, engaged and contributed to our shared mission. Your unwavering commitment of talent, time, treasure and love is a remarkable testament to the beautiful new thing God is doing among and through us.
Thank you for your continued support and generosity—together, we are doing something extraordinary.
