Haiti relief on two consecutive Saturdays (January 16th and 23rd). During this

Once a month we participate in mission projects so that we can put our faith into action and
experience what it is like to be God’s hands and feet. We participate in projects such as helping with homeless shelters, food collections forShepherd’s Staff, visiting shut-ins, the Operation Christmas Child warehouse, and the Alcove. We also participate in a larger-scale mission project each summer, such as River of Life. To support our mission work we are involved in many fundraising activities
throughout the year, including a balloon sale, various types of themed dinners, pumpkin patches,
car washes, etc. Specific missions we take part in annually include:

•   Mission Trip to Casa Samuel in Garcia, Mexico: A feeding a nurture ministry for children
       under the direction of local pastor Eva Zapata. The impoverished community of Garcia,
       Mexico includes approximately 100 families with 300 children. Mission activities include daily
       Bible School and installation of home improvements for advanced functionality,
      such as electrical wiring, window replacement, and kitchens with running water.
•   United Methodist Volunteers in Mission: Provides guidance, training,
    and placement for short-term mission volunteers in the Southeast Jurisdiction.
