The Mission Project...with Mission Projects
We recognize that Girdwood Chapel is a "Mission Project" for many churches. And we recognize that we could not be where we are without the help of so many wonderful Christian brothers and sisters in the United Methodist Connection. For that, we are very grateful.
But we also need folks to know that, even though we are a mission project, we are engaged in missions as well.
Here are some of the things we've been up to:
- A food pantry (items stored in the home of one of our members)
- Lodging for persons with nowhere else to stay
- Support of "Nothing But Nets" anti-Malaria campaign
- Youth Mission Trips (we're headed to Alabama this summer)
- Local support for persons in need of clothing or other home items.
- We have provided fuel or rent assistance
- Operation Christmas Child
- Plus we actively educate our youth on mission needs around the world, particularly through World Vision's "30 Hour Famine" program
Thank you for all that you have done to serve us. We promise to continue in our efforts of serving others.
Peace,
Pastor Jim
