Bible Study
Our Bible Study meets on Tuesday mornings at 10:30AM. Presently we are studying the book, "Putting Away Childish Things", by Marcus Borg. Putting Away Childish Things is an engaging way for readers to learn about the important issues dividing Christians today like; What does the Bible teach? Who is Jesus? What is the nature of Faith today? Pastor Bartell leads the group in this deeper look into the these insightful teachings. Please join us!
Community Outreach
We may be a small church community, but we strive hard to help our community in many ways, ways that always welcome extra hands! We do "Street Feedings" on a regular basis, creating an assemly line and making bag lunches. We then load up our cars and travel downtown in Baltimore and distribute. It is amazing to participate! We collect warm coats, hats and other warm clothing and also distribute in the city. We collect dry non-parishable food for the Northeast Pantry. We give $$ and household items to Earl's Place, to help men transition to the real world from addiction. We do whatever we can to help those less fortunate.
Child Sponsorship
We collect change and dollars each week as our on-going mission to help children. We sponsor three children; Karthick from India, Christopher from Africia, and Dominque from Jamaica. All of the children are sponsored through Global Ministries of the United Church of Christ. We also contribute each month, additional funds to Hearts to Haiti, in our continual effort to help the many improvished children there. In turn, we receive many thank you notes and pictures, plus updates as the children grow and make lives for themselves. It is very rewarding as we literally change lives with our change!
