Local Outreach
|
No matter where we are in the city, or how the times change, there will always be someone whom we can help. We are called to respond to “the least of these,” and serving another one of God’s children more fully informs our own faith journey. Below are some of the ways in which we serve the local community. Additionally, we are always looking to reach out to our community in new and life-giving ways.
