Food and household items are purchased and brought to the altar regularly by members and donated for needy persons of Benton County.

AREA SPECIAL NEEDS:

The church helps individuals and families in the community as need arises.

MEDICAL MISSIONARY:

The church collects unused and no longer needed prescription medicines to send to a Mennonite medical physician missionary serving in El Salvador who is also a personal acquaintance of the pastor.

OTHER MISSIONS:

The board voted in September 2006 to donate $550 to the mission work of Miss Machala Wilson who works with the handicapped through Special Touch Ministries.  Miss Wilson's dedicated work is known and has been witnessed first hand by members of the board.

Special offerings are taken annually for Gideon's International which places bibles around the world. The church also belongs to the Cole Camp Area Church Alliance which helps area needy persons as well as transcient people in need of help. After the tsunami disaster, the church took a collection, added a check and sent the donation to UMCOR Fund to help.

Following the Katrina hurricane, the entire collection received on Sunday September 4 was sent to UMCOR to assist with the relief efforts.

We look for ways to be God's people in times of need for those less fortunate.
