Outreach.........

We try to do what we can for the community that surrounds us. One of our major projects every year is our annual Christmas Stuffed Animal drive which begins in July. These animals go to local children whose families may not be able to afford much at Christmas and also to several orphanages in Tijuana.

Every summer we share the fruits of the labor of David, our landscaper who so generously donates his time and talent to grow vegetables, with others contributing. He sets up a table on Sundays and attendees are free to purchase the food on a love offering basis. The monies collected go to our Youth Ed Department. Any foods not sold are often contributed to our Head Start families.

One Saturday in June is an event where everyone in the church has an opportunity to clean their closets and cupboards of items they no longer need or use. These items are organized by type and placed in Wrigley Hall. In addition to the church members, members of the community are encouraged to come and “adopt” any of these items they may want or need. The idea is to circulate those items no longer used to be used by someone else. The old adage “somebody’s trash is somebody else’s treasure” is certainly true here. There is no money exchanged- just a fun day to circulate our good!
