Missions
 |
"Being God's servants through love, service and sharing." We uphold people in prayer, provide practical help and loving support through our work projects, and are willingly involved in reaching out to our community. As John Wesley taught us, we try to "do all the good we can, in all the places we can, for all the people we can, for as long as we can". |
| Mission And Outreach Projects In Which We Are Currently Engaged | |
| Project Linus and the Prayer Shawl Ministry Project Linus is a 100% volunteer non-profit organization with a two-fold mission. First, it is our mission to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer "blanketeers". Second, it is our mission to provide a rewarding and fun service opportunity for interested individuals and groups in local communities, for the benefit of children. Meets the third Saturday, 9:00 am - 12 noon Click our link for your local chapter: Rockingham County Chapter of Project Linus Click here for Chapter Activity Pictures |

Building & Work Teams Opportunities are available various times during the year to participate along with other Christians in short term mission trips witnessing through building or re-building or to administer help however needed. Tireless workers, generous donors, and many prayers have lead to successful and meaningful projects. |
