OUTREACH MEETING IN NOVEMBER

 
   

Outreach is a fundamental part of our Christian identity, and a constant at St. Stephen's. In addition to community efforts throughout the year, at year end we gather to distribute funds earned by Treasures Thrift Shop, as well as other monies gathered for this purpose. 

 

Our Outreach Committee meeting will be held after coffee hour on Sunday, November 23. At this meeting the committee decides how to distribute funds to charities. Recently our focus has been on local charities that don't have a fund raising arm, so are particularly needy of contributions. New participants are welcome. If anyone would like to join the group, please email Laura Desmarais at [email protected] . We look forward to this event, when we fulfill a basic part of our mission.
