Missions & Ministry

A Message from Missions

A special thank you to VBS and to everyone that donated school and craft supplies. They were delivered to the Salvation Army in New Brunswick where they were warmly received. Thanks to Dave and Jan Houtman for their help in delivering. Your support is greatly appreciated to help the kids that are in need.  We would also like to thank everyone for your ongoing support of the food pantry. We continue to help several people through your generosity. Paper goods, pasta sauce, pasta, individually wrapped snacks, 100% juice, instant and canned potatoes, boxed stuffing, gravy and canned fruit and green vegetables are always needed.

The communion offering for September is for The Milltown Fire Department. Established in 1911, the Milltown Fire Department is an all-volunteer company. These men and women give their own time not only fighting fires, but doing ongoing training, maintenance and drills.  They run 24/7 and not only respond to Milltown, but cover from mile markers 76 to 84 on the New Jersey Turnpike. They also aid other towns when needed, provided mutual aid to New York on 9/11 and most recently helped with the March wild fires in South Jersey. Please give generously to those who give us so much of themselves to keep our town safe.

Enjoy Labor Day and prayers as you return to school and work.

Lord Jesus,
We thank you for our summer break with family and friends. Help us to face new challenges as we begin a new school year. Give the students and teachers a generous spirit to be enthusiastic with studies and to accept new opportunities. Open our hearts to be patient, kind and understanding every day. Amen
