COMMUNITY GARDEN
COMMUNITY GARDEN
Our community garden grows fresh produce for local food banks and provides a space for fellowship and service. Church members partner with Ethan Health Men's Recovery center to keep the garden growing. See the Community Garden Facebook page for the most recent updates and for opportunities to volunteer.
WATERS FOR THE LIVING LORD
Clean water saves lives. Our Waters for the Living Lord (WLL) ministry installs water purification systems in communities without access to safe drinking water.
Our church's Waters for the Living Lord mission partner in Honduras Ermin Varela took time for maintenance and training visits to an orphanage (Copprome near El Progreso) and a children's aid center (Rainbow in El Negrito) that are both served by our WLL clean water systems. Every day, 92 children who live at Copprome and 70 who are served by Rainbow have access to clean water because of your support for our church's WLL program.
You can learn more about Copprome at their Fb page: https://www.facebook.com/CoppromeOrphanage.
The Rainbow Center is a missions outreach of our friends from Arizona's Hands of Love International team. You can learn more about their work here: https://www.handsofloveinternational.org/.
