Monthly Mission:
St. Francis Food Pantry
The St. Francis Human Concerns Food Pantry on LBI is one of the largest in Ocean County that distributes food items and personal hygiene products to families in need. The Human Concerns Program is a homeless prevention program that serves clients living in Southern Ocean County. Financial donations will be sent to St. Francis to assist in filling their shelves. As always, non-perishable food items and personal hygiene items can be dropped off at either church in January or throughout the year.
Monthly Mission:
Human Relations Day
The United Methodist Church, on Human Relations Day, will celebrate and support, through a special offering, social justice and outreach ministries that “empower all God’s children to realize their full potential as human beings in relationship with one another. “This offering aids a multi-racial/ethnic collection of church and community-based projects that strive to bring about justice, reconciliation and human development. Human Relations Day’s date, January 14, is linked meaningfully to the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his vision of “the beloved community. “Every contribution makes a difference in this important work for the upbuilding of human lives and relationships.
