Faith In Action |
The
opportunities we have for ministry, for putting our faith in
action begin right at the door step.
This page will always be developing and growing as we post more
opportunities for you to engage in ministry within our
congregation, our communities and our world. Currently we require our Confirmation students to engage in a Mission Project. Recently, we have encouraged all of our Ministry Teams and Small Groups to choose a Mission project of their own. We hope this model of Congregational Leaders being actively involved in putting our Faith into Action will encourage all of our members and friends to be involved in personal Faith into Action projects. For now, you may visit our Links Page for some exciting opportunities. If you have ideas for projects or if you know of a project that needs our help, please submit your ideas to Pastor Jeff. |

Local (Community) Projects We invite you to help us in working for Christ within our wider community by supporting the following agencies with your gifts and time: Phoebe Home, Lehigh County Conference of Churches, Ecumenical Soup Kitchen, Meals on Wheels, Lehigh Valley Hospice, OCWM, NIN, hurricane relief, the conference roof, Angel Tree Ministries, American Cancer Society, and Kidspeace. We also provide facilities for our community groups and sponsor special community events such as: Boy's and Girl's scouting clubs and Greenawalds Nursery School. Each week we collect non-perishable food items for the ecumenical food bank. The collection box is located in the hallway across from the Pastor's office. |

Mission Trips Every two years we hold a mission trip for our Senior High Youth though we continuously fundraise to raise money for the trips. Past mission trips have been to Colorado, South Carolina, Maine, Washington, D.C. and our most recent youth trip was July 11-18 of 2009 to Shalotte, North Carolina. In January of 2010 we completed an adult Mission Trip to Biloxi, Mississippi, where we worked on rebuilding a home for a fmaily who lost their home to Hurricane Katrina in August of 2005. This trip was hosted by the Back Bay Mission in Mississippi. http://www.backbaymission.com We are in the planning stages for another trip to the Back Bay Mission in April/May of 2012. One of our church family members is currently on a personal mission trip, hiking the Appalachian Trail to raise money for earthquake victims in Hati.
