Monday is for Missions

As a church we have charted a course to be much more involved and intentional with mission work, both locally and globally.  We are tripling our missions giving over the next 3-4 years, launching short-term mission trip opportunities within our congregation, and deepening our partnerships in our local communities.

We're excited to announce a partnership with H.E.L.P -- Help End Local Poverty. Through this partnership we are working to restore orphans in Zimbabwe affected by the HIV/AIDS crisis.  There are over 15 million children who are orphans because of AIDS, and 12 million of them live in sub-Sahara Africa! We are supporting an orphanage in Zimbabwe.  We directly support these 5 children through our church budget:

Tendai (18 months)

Karen (3 yrs) -- loves to play with dolls and go to church

Luke (11 yrs) -- favorite activities include school, soccer and other sports

Kudzanai (14 yrs) -- likes soccer, learning English, and geography

Cynthia (17 yrs) -- like to cook, sing, and play with younger children

Please commit to praying for these 5 children, the work in Zimbabwe, and the H.E.L.P. Team!!
