MINISTRIES WITHIN THE SPIRIT OF PEACE COMMUNITY
Caring for one another is at the heart of Spirit of Peace. As a gathered
community, most of our caring happens spontaneously and informally. But,
we also organize into Ministries as a way to channel members' time, talents and
interests towards larger community issues. We have five
Ministries: Care & Invitation; Worship & Spirituality; Education;
Social Action; Building and Grounds.
Just
as each person is on an individual spiritual journey, each person lives out
their Christian call to peace, justice and reconciliation in individual
ways. At Spirit of Peace UCC, we attempt to be a place of support as you
live out your ministry in action. As a congregation, we reach out through
the global church by participating in 5 special offerings: Strengthen the
Church; Neighbors in Need; The Christmas Fund; One Great Hour of Sharing; and
Our Church's Wider Mission.
As a congregation, we reach out in a variety of ways locally. Some of the
activities we have participated in during the past year or two include:
Community Church Outreach Organization; Habitat for Humanity, The Banquet;
purchase of books and scholarships for our Sudanese young men; hurricane
relief; Darfur relief; Sudanese computer training assistance; Sharing the Dream
Guatemala Project; Fair Trade coffee sales; AIDS walk lunch; seminary support;
Senior Companion Program; and Heifer International. Every year brings new
ministry opportunities.
