Socktober: October Mission Project

/in /by

During the month of October, the kids in Children’s Ministry have challenged the church to collect 300 pairs of new socks for adult men and women who are guests of Micah Ministry. Even a small act of love, such as donating a pair of socks, can make a big difference in the lives of our neighbors who are unhoused or food insecure.

A donation bucket is located at the Children’s Ministry check-in desk. Thank you for your donations and helping us live out our mission to serve our neighbors here and around the world!
