The Women of God’s newest ministry is called “Hearts and Hands”. It has 2 parts: We will keep the small freezer in the kitchen stocked with ready-to-heat meals for ANYONE who needs meals due to sickness, injury, surgery, financial hardship, etc. Help yourself as needed — no need to ask. We also offer our services for any church member who may need a little extra help with a chore. We can do light housekeeping, errands, light yard work, closet/cabinet organization, etc. Tell any Women of God member what you need, & we will schedule a work crew for you.
Praise God for seventy Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes given to children globally!
