#onething - September
During the month of September, the Mission Committee’s focus for #onething is for Teen Challenge. Teen challenge of the Dakotas located here in Brookings, SD offers a residential program for adult males, 18 years and older. This faith-based program helps these men learn to manage their lives through Bible study, planned activities and volunteering in the community. Your gift to September #onething strengthens this program and helps foster healing and independence to many. A cash donation is much appreciated!
Your Church Cares!
Your church friends care about you! We would like to support you through life’s ups and downs such as illnesses, surgeries, new babies, loss in the family, marriage, divorce, or any other life events. We have a prayer chain and visitation ministry set up to provide help in a variety of ways. BUT, if we don’t know about your family crisis/celebration, we cannot help. The hospitals cannot reveal the names of patients as they did in the past. Please give the church office a call (605-692-4345) and let us know what is happening in your life. We want to put our Love into Action
