“Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.”
― John Wesley

Faith in Action:
Sunday worship is suspended while members of the church go out to the community to demonstrate Christian love, hands on. Projects include home repairs, yard work, painting, cleaning, letters to the city officials, mulching in city parks, and other tasks. That evening, we invite homeowners and tenants we served to a free potluck dinner at the church. Usually in the spring, but specific date varies.
