Local Missions
Noisy Offering
We were privileged to be involved with Mom’s House last year. Mom’s House is a Christian organization which was set up to offer free licensed childcare to single parents enrolled in school. Parents are provided workshops in life skills, parenting techniques, nutrition, etc. Tutoring is provided if needed. Parents are encouraged to continue their education beyond high school to a level where they are fully employable, thus allowing them to be financially independent. There were two centers in Broome County. The first one was established in Endicott in 1988. By 1990, there was a waiting list of more than 50 people. The second Mom’s House was opened in Binghamton in 1993. In 2007, the two facilities were consolidated to a brand new facility in its present location in Johnson City. Over 260 single parents have graduated from their educational programs. For more information go to: https://momshouseny.org or call, 607-644-9972. Consider this important ministry. The offering will be collected Sunday, July 24th
On Sunday, August 28th, we will collect the Noisy Offering for the backpack ministry. This ministry provides elementary students who are at 8 risk of hunger with a bag of nutritious, easy to prepare food each Friday during the school year for them to take home for the weekend. With the high costs of food, housing, and other basic needs and with the loss of income during these past few years around 1 in 5 children in the Southern Tier are at risk of hunger. $3 will feed one child for the weekend. Every school in Broome and Tioga Counties participate. Prayerfully consider this important ministry and give generously!
