Sunday School Projects every six weeks is Outreach Sunday in our Sunday School classes. Under the leadership of the Outreach Committee, the kids put together toiletry kits for shelters, make gifts for our shut-ins or complete other projects to extend Christ's love. The older class decides how to use the Sunday School offerings, designated for outreach projects selected by the kids. Meals on Wheels provides dinners for parishioners or others who need a helping hand. Rides for Seniors are provided for those who need a ride to church.
