Friedens
(Peace) United Church of Christ strives to be a church that
is steep in deeds, not in creeds! We want an Outreach oriented
congregation with a special mind to those “Jesus called
the least of these” in our local community, United Church
of Christ Missions as well as the world at large. Listed below
are several of the Outreach opportunities we are involved
with. Instead of getting involved in the latest political
or religious debate regarding theological differences, we
chose to simply go about the business of Matthew 25 which
is quite simply, taking care of the least of these, and in
doing so, we are building God’s Kingdom here on earth
(thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven!)
The EAT'S Foundation: Each week
the congregation is ask to consider giving $1.00 to the EAT'S Foundation
to support their mission to serve the hungry of Guadalupe and surrounding
counties.
Child Protective Services Rainbow
Room:
- Ongoing donations of supplies needed to assist case workers
in helping families qualify to keep their children in their
homes.
- During the Christmas holiday season we host an “Angel
Tree” for children served by Child Protective Services.
We provide gifts and wrappings based on their own wish lists.
Their parents wrap the gifts and present them to them.
