Reach Out Ministry
In March 2020, when we realized the “safer at home” phase would last for a while, we created a Reach Out Ministry to help keep us all connected during an uncertain time. Over the past two years, 50 different FPC members made over 4700 contacts to other members through calls or cards. We have decided it is time to bring this ministry to an end and want to thank all those who responded to God’s grace through this important ministry. I have heard from many that it was blessing to make the calls, and I hope you all felt it was a blessing to receive them too.
Thank you: Ann Zander, Anne Parsons, Art Herron, Barb Heerman, Barbara Roos, Betty Webb, Betty Willoughby, Carol Busby, Chuck Cairatti, Cindy Blackburn, Claire Crunk, Clarke Oldham, Dale Roos, Dee Bechtel, Don Arnold, Duke Ellis, Hank McCall, Hattie Kissel, J. Edward Campbell, Jane Herron, Jane Plumley, Janice Eddlemon, Jean Acklin, Jeanette Crosswhite, Jennifer Godwin, Jim Skillen, Judi Arnold, Karen Coleman, Ken Zander, Lauren Inglis, Lissa Bradford, Maggie Garafola, Mary Jane Wormer, Namaste Anderson, Rachael Stanfill, Robin Pulliam, Sally Wanzer, Sandra Fields, Sharon Quintana, Steve Hoeffler, Steve Lewis, Sue Banner, Susan Burns, Susan Oldham, Suzette Rutherford, Tammy Love, Terry Love, and Tiffany Bechtel.
Gratefully,
Anne Keener

Thank you for showing love for your Neighbor through your recent contribution to GraceWorks Ministries. Your gift has helped neighbors in need. One example is Judy, a young woman in her early 20s, who came to GraceWorks desperate for help. Judy is the sole caregiver for her father, who is severly disabled. His need for round-the-clock care prevents Judy from going to work or school. After hearing her story, GraceWorks eased their financial burden by helping with their rent and giving them a shopping cart full of groceries. |
