Mission Outreach

 

 

See a list of activities for 2013

 

Gwynedd Square Presbyterian Church engages in a variety of activities focused on helping others. Mission activities have been strongly supported by the church since it was founded. From providing a meal for a local family in need to helping with disaster relief efforts, we believe in reaching out to meet the needs of people in our church, our community, and our world. This is accomplished by volunteers in our church family.  Many organizations in the church participate in mission projects including the Deacons, Sunday School, youth groups, the Woman’s Association, Needlework Guild, and C-farers.

We also provide financial support for mission work, and the primary committee responsible for allocating money for mission projects is the Mission Interpretation Committee. This committee selects and prioritizes giving from its budget, sponsors mission talks and American Red Cross blood drives, coordinates the congregation’s participation in the Inter-Faith Hospitality Network and the local CROP Walk, and offers the congregation a copy of the denominational mission yearbook for prayer and study.

 

The following organizations have received significant contributions of money and/or volunteer labor in the past year.

Needlework Guild

The Needlework Guild is a national volunteer charity that has been operating since 1885. The Guild's purpose is to improve the quality of life for needy people in the United States and its possessions. Volunteers collect new clothing, household linens, and essential toiletries and give them to their neighbors in need through recognized community organizations.



Our goal is to continue to grow in service to others as we grow in faithfulness to God.
