A MILLION THANKS TO OUR GENEROUS CHURCH FAMILY! The Outreach Committee and our local veteran, homeless, and sheltered neighbors; plus local schools, and Sierra Leone neighbors; are gobsmacked by the radical generosity in 2022 of our church family’s prayers, presence, servant hearts, donations of diapers, food, toiletries, school supplies, sandwiches, salads, desserts, warm clothing, and gifts. Also donations for gift cards at Christmas! Thousands of dollars were collected for CHAMP Homes, Safe Harbor Women’s Shelter, A Baby Center, Vinfen Men’s Group Home, the Pastor’s Discretionary Fund, and two UMC Missions in Sierra Leone: the Child Reintegration Centre and Mercy Hospital! To God be the Glory, great things He hath done through UMC of Osterville!
