“This fund exists primarily to serve as a source of financial aid to church members in need of emergency financial assistance. However, it may also be used to assist others if deemed appropriate by the committee responsible for the administration of the fund." (Updated and adopted by Board of Deacons, August 23, 2015).
The committee responsible for administering funds follow established guidelines which includes vouchers or payments to third parties. No money is given directly to an individual/family approved for aid."
At this time our available funds are low. To assist with replenishing our resources:
Deacons have begun collecting donations at each of their monthly meetings.
Deacons are reinstating collection of funds after each observance of the Lord's Supper which is once each quarter. At the conclusion of these services, Deacons will be stationed at the doors of our sanctuary for the congregation to make donations. Our next communion is scheduled for this Sunday, July 30.
When searching for the meaning of Benevolence we find these words: being truly concerned for the welfare of others; kindness; goodwill; desiring to do good to others; generosity; and, love directed to others.
*Please come prepared to help increase our Benevolence Fund on Sunday, July 30.
