Witnessing Ministry

"God’s story is one story told in countless versions."
James O. Thurmond

One of our goals is to increase opportunities for the congregation to speak up and to tell their stories. Three primary ways that we have done this are to add the prayer of invitation to the regular Sunday worship service, to "open" the Witnessing page in the HeartBeat for that purpose and to improve communication within the congregation.

Another goal is to continue the vital ministries that make up the whole of the Witnessing Ministry. We are active in Campus Ministry, New Member Classes, Mission and Outreach, Angel Tree, Alternative Gift Market, Helping Hand, and Hope Dining Room.

...for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you took care of me.

Matthew 25:35-36 (NRSV)
