We would love for you to join us at an upcoming virtual or in-person event.
Continuing Worship Series: What Disciples Do
We know that, more often than not, actions speak louder than words. Certainly, we must take care to speak God's truth and proclaim God's love in what we say, and also we must work to embody it in all that we do.
In this ongoing worship series, we dive into various practices that make our faith real. Together, we explore what it looks like for us to wrestle with God, follow in the footsteps of Christ, and embrace the presence of the Spirit as we seek to live our faith in meaningful ways that are seen (and felt) by those around us.
Packing Backpacks for "Nutrition on Weekends"
Are you looking to make a difference in a child's life? Want to take a crack at pushing back against hunger? Join us Thursday, Nov 6 at 11:00 am as we pack backpacks of food for "Nutrition on Weekends".
Facilitated by the Marshfield Area United Way, the "Nutrition on Weekends" program provides healthy, ready-to-eat nutritious foods for over five hundred children in Marshfield and the surrounding communities during the weekend. It ensures a safety net for children when they are not in the classroom and able to access school meals.
Volunteers can sign-up on the sheet in the gathering space at the church building or by contacting the church office at (715) 384-2292. On the day of, we will meet at the United Way (612 W. Blodgett Street).
Serving at Soup or Socks Food Pantry
There are many in our community who struggle with food scarcity, every day. As followers of Christ, we are called to show God's love in all we say and do, including by feeding the hungry. Our partnership with the Soup or Socks food pantry here in Marshfield is one way we reach out to and are in ministry with this vulnerable demographic.
Coming soon, we will have an opportunity to serve and to meet a vital need! Volunteer shifts are available Monday (Nov 17), Wednesday (Nov 19), or Friday (Nov 21). If you feel that this is something God may be calling you to do, contact the church office so that we can get you connected. Together, we can make a real difference in someone's life!
