The gift of the human parcel, a person offering only their compassionate presence and kindness, never requires folding garment boxes, bows of ribbon or decorative paper. The simple package of a person’s time, service and empathy tend to be the gifts that imbed themselves most deeply in the soil of our memory. In the giving of our very selves we are not asked simply to spend our currency but to sacrifice our own safety, entering into the life of a person in need, carrying their burden as if it were our own. We enter not as an adorned chalice, but as simple tin cups dispensing Christ, the living water.
We are striving to become a family who is great at being least. A people who have learned the secret of the basin and towel.
We are committed to reaching out to our community with the love of Christ. This effort is an ever evolving movement of the Spirit of God and we are learning more every day. If you would like to know more about our Community Ministry including:
