Missions

Last night Mark Kane, our treasurer, and I sat down to go over our mission giving and to make sure we had everything up to date. It is very satisfying to know that we support so many good ministries.

For example we give $400 a year to St. Vincent de Paul Place and their ministry to the hungry. It isn't much but every little bit helps. St. Vincent de Paul feeds breakfast and lunch to several hundred people every week. They also provide groceries for several hundred families. It is a safe place for people going through transitions. They are on the front lines working with people below the poverty line. It is great to have a small part in this ministry.

We also give $100 to the Care Net Pregnancy Resource Center. This group works with young women and offers them an alternative to abortion. They provide information and support for young mothers. They work to provide affordable medical care and offer encouragement for these ladies who make the hard choice to keep their children or put them up for adoption. They have so many testimonies to share and it is great to know that we are saving lives and making a difference.

We give money to Pierce Baptist Home, the Noank Group Home for Girls, Camp Wightman, Andover Newton Theological School and Eastern College. All of these ministries reach out to different segments of our population.

We can't do it all but through these partnerships we are able to have a hand in God's work as He makes a difference all around us.
