MISSION OUTREACH and COMMUNITY SERVICE

“Whatever you do for the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you do also for me.” (Matthew 25:40)

On the parking lot side of the church during the Summer months you will see six barrels with tomato plants.  This is an annual project of the mission committee. We supply the tending and harvesting and then donate the produce to Scarborough Food Pantry. If you are here at the church, please check to see if they need water.
