Local Missions
March and April 2021 Mission
March’s Noisy Offering: Backpack Ministry On Sunday, March 28, 2021 we will collect the Noisy Offering for the backpack ministry. This ministry provides elementary students who are at risk of hunger (around 1 out of every 6 children) with a bag of nutritious, easy to prepare food each Friday during the school year for them to take home for the weekend. $3 will feed one child for the weekend. Every school in Broome and Tioga Counties participate. Food insecurity is much more dire since the pandemic. This ministry also assures that children who have lost access to free or reduced-price school meals due to school closures and no in-person attendance caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have access to nutritional food, even if they are not in school every day. Boxes of food are delivered weekly to the home of each eligible child. Generously give to the Backpack Ministry!
April’s Noisy Offering: Vestal Pregnancy Resource Center The Pregnancy Resource Center Vestal (PRCV or Women’s Life Choices) is a place of hope for women & men facing challenging circumstances before, during, or after pregnancy. It offers a practical alternative to many who feel they have no other choice but abortion. They offer: a confidential place to discuss pregnancy options; free pregnancy tests and ultrasounds; referrals for FREE and low-cost benefits; and maternity resources. They also offer post-abortion healing. They are now in the UHS medical building right across the parking lot of the abortion clinic. This has provided some incredible life-saving opportunities. The ladies’ luncheon group will be having a baby shower for them for Mother’s Day. Consider this great ministry! This offering will be collected on April 25, 2021
Special Offering in April for Local Need: Our most urgent need is to replace the roof and possibly replace or repair the damage that was done to another part of the roof over the education wing. Missions will match dollar for dollar given up to $500 to the roof fund. Double your donation and prayerfully consider this need for our church building
