OUR HEART TO SERVE
Throughout the southeast, and particularly here in our state of North Carolina, many people are suffering from the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene. Amid the heaviness of this season, we have not forgotten the necessity to respond in keeping with our Scripture focus for this year (Acts 2:42-47).
HOW WILL WE TAKE ACTION?
We will take action in the three following ways:
-
- Monetary Donation that will be given to the American Red Cross (Choose the Give option on our website or apps and select “Be A Blessing”*)
- Collection of Goods and sites for Volunteers to serve
- Congregational Care
*Be a Blessing Fund: All monetary donations collected through this fund, during the allocated period, will be used for Hurricane Relief efforts.
