Baby Shower for Missions

We are showering our Mission Closet with baby items! You can make a donation with “baby” in the memo or stop by the Baby Shower table in the hallway this week to learn more!
 
Help us keep items stocked for those in need by “purchasing” a gift. It’s easy! You make a donation for an item and we shop for it and keep items replaced in our closet. This allows us to have enough supplies on hand for when there is a need, but not be overstocked as we have limited space.

Bridge for Panama

Our mission partners in the mountains of Panama have let us know about a developing need. Heavy storms have washed out a bridge the Ngnobe-Bugle children rely on to walk to school. We need to respond quickly to rebuild this bridge so kids aren’t having to make a perilous river crossing every day.
 
If you can support this mission, please click here to visit our Mission Panama giving portal and write “Bridge” in the memo line.
