Missions and Outreach Update

The Mission and Outreach Committee has provided donations to a multitude of organizations. This was made possible due to the generosity of several members and past members of our Church who have provided monetary donations to support the Missions Endowment fund designated for local support. In addition, as part of our “225th Celebration”, a Global Mission Endowment fund was created to be used for Global Missions.

Missions Endowment Fund to support local needs:

The Missions Endowment that is to be used for local Missions in 2015 amounted to $15,031. We have provided a list of organizations below with the amount of the donations that have been provided:

Global Mission Endowment Fund:

Our Global Mission Endowment Funds amounted to $4,165. We will continue to support Helen Camarce, the Missionary that we sponsored this past year and will continue to do so for a total of 3 years. The cost of supporting Helen Camarce is $2,500 per year.

We have donated the balance of the Global Endowment fund to “Save the Children” in the amount of $1,665.

The Missions Committee will “highlight” each of the organizations that we support over the next couple of weeks/months.
