LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF

Our church is involved in many ministry activities, including:
Disciples Home Missions: Our church continues to be at the top of contributing churches in N.C. Blessings in a Backpack: We partner with other churches in the area to pack bags of food for Martin County school children to take home on weekends, and hold an annual fundraiser at the Farmer's Market each July. Mini Food Pantry: We have built and established a community mini pantry for non-perishable food items, toiletry, and paper products. We simply state: "Take What You Need, Give What You Can." Once a month we have a donation table in front of Piggly Wiggly for community support. Camp Rainbow (a camp for developmentally disabled adults at Camp Caroline): We support the camp through funding scholarships and writing cards, as well as volunteering at the camp. Scholarships: Our church presents financial scholarships to graduating high school seniors each year to further their education. Toys for Tots: Each year the men meet to help sort toys for the Martin County Toys for Tots. Angel Tree: Names of local families in need are provide by social workers at the schools and our church family provides Christmas gifts for the families. CWS Blanket Sunday: The women hold a collection every January for Church World Service. Week of Compassion: Each February we hold a luncheon after worship to provide funding. When disaster strikes we prepare clean up buckets or hold food drives. |
