Missions

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty
and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you invited me in.
I needed clothes and you clothed me. I was sick and you looked after me.
I was in prison, and you came to visit me.”
Matthew 25: 35-36

The Missions Committee is seeking the congregation's help with an urgent need in our community. New Frontiers for Families is an organization that helps boys who have either been cast out from or who have chose to leave the polygamous communities of Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Ariz.

A home is open to these boys, but only six can stay there on a regular basis. The home needs toilet paper and other paper products, male hygiene products, cleaning supplies, spices such as salt, pepper and garlic, school supplies, clothes, coats and blankets. Please bring those items to the church.

The church helps the local food bank by collecting food and personal items. We also distribute bread and dessert items at the food bank each Friday.

Our congregation works with the Salvation Army to provide teams to prepare and serve meals for the needy at St. George Catholic Church. The kitchen is open twice each week, and our teams work in a set rotation.

The church created the expo to inform the public of the needs and volunteer opportunities available in and around Washington County, Utah. Many churches from throughout the area now are involved in the project.

This mission is a cooperative effort with the Rotary Club and other churches to assemble more than 550 backpacks for underprivileged children in the Washington County School District.

Some of the boys off Bluff Street have made good strides. One is attending Dixie State, two have graduated high school, eight have received GEDs, eight are in high school, and one will start college in January. Paper products are being collected for the boys in the narthex of the church.
