*The first Sunday of every month the adult Sunday School class takes a special offering for Community Care. This fund was started several years ago as a way to offer a 'one time' assistance to those in need in our community who are having financial difficulties due to illness, injury, loss of a loved one, loss of home, etc. Since May 2002 this fund has generated over $25,000 in assistance and more than 100 families have received help. Even during these difficult economic times the faithful continue to support the Community Care Fund.

"Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver." (KJV) Corinthians II 9:7
