Samaritans Purse
This ministry has promoted and encouraged our people to get involved with the Shoebox ministry of Samaritan’s Purse. For a number of years we have collected shoe boxes and sent them onto Minneapolis which is the regional distribution center. Since 2004 we have had people from our church travel to Minneapolis to help sort Christmas boxes. See the link at Samaritan’s Purse for more information.
Mission Boxes to Papua New Guinea
In March of 2007 on our mission trip to assists with the Regional island Missions conference in PNG, we saw a need for missionaries to be encouraged throughout the year. Every 2 months, we send 2-3 boxes to various missionaries serving in Papua New Guinea with New Tribes Missions.
Sewing Ministry
Chemotherapy Caps = In March of 2006 our church was made aware of a need for chemotherapy caps at the Cancer Center. We gathered a group of people together and started making caps for chemotherapy patients. We were surprised to find out that the cancer center must purchase these and usually has to limit the amount of caps someone may take. We thought this was unacceptable – so Gloria started a community project to meet this need. This page provides some pictures and links for patterns to make the caps. Our leader on this project is Gloria Jackson – so please contact her for any questions you may have.

The church will provide the pillows and the labels – all you need is some fun kid loving material.
