Outreach
"Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me." - Matthew 25:40
Jesus calls us to love our neighbors as ourselves. Our Outreach ministries identify areas of need in our local community and beyond where parishioners share their time, talents and treasure. As is so often the case, we discover we receive more than we give.

COLD WEATHER SHELTER UPDATE AND LETTERS OF SUPPORT
Each month there is an opportunity to volunteer at a local organization. We also have a collection each month for a local charity.
MARCH 2024 OUTREACH: WOMEN'S PERIOD SUPPLIES
March outreach will be focused on period poverty and collecting period supplies for students in OKCPS who might otherwise miss school due to lack of access to period supplies and our unhoused neighbors, both through OKC End Homelessness and those who come by the church needing supplies. We will be collecting supplies in March and during one of the 10:10 forums in April we will be packing them in paper to-go containers so each bag will have 10 supplies and can fit discreetly in a backpack or can be handed out easily to an unhoused neighbor. Thanks in advance for your support of this vital ministry!

Please pray and ask God how you can support these efforts, but also for our guests to feel the loving embrace of God. Dean Churchwell+
