In response to Christ's Great
Commandment (Luke 10:25-37), the Outreach & Relief Committee seeks to stimulate
and lead our congregation in reaching out to people in need. The committee
encourages and facilitates hands-on involvement in humanitarian causes, and
financially supports ministries of mercy to people in need locally and
nationally.
Organizations and Programs we
support are:
| Meals on Wheels |
Habitat for Humanity |
| Interfaith Outreach Association |
Blue Ridge Pregnancy Center |
| Rivermont Area Emergency Food Pantry |
Churches for Urban Ministry |
| The Miller Home |
Daily Bread |
| Network for Women in Crisis |
Presbyterian Home & Family Services |
| Free Clinic of Central Virginia |
The Salvation Army |
| Prison Fellowship |
Thanksgiving Baskets |
In addition to supporting the
above mentioned causes, the committee also takes the lead in soliciting
assistance from our congregation in response to crisis situations that arise
from time to time as the result of natural disasters.
