BENEVOLENCE FUND
One of the ways that our church meets the financial needs of those in our community is through the Benevolence Fund. In the recent past, we have assisted several people who are facing financial emergencies. We on the Benevolence Fund Committee would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has given to the fund enabling us to help so many. Please remember when giving, to designate your donations to the Benevolence Fund. Thanks again for being the hands and feet of our Lord and Savior. Jimmy Engle, Chairman of the Benevolence Fund Committee.
