Other Mission Outreach

Volunteers in Mission

Several of our congregation has joined teams which provided various kinds of service in the U.S. and in other countries.  Sometimes the service is building projects, sometimes medical missions, sometimes working with relief supplies or in children’s programs.  We also do some local projects such as building ramps for persons with physical disabilities and weatherizing homes.  Check to see what the next project might be.

Elementary School Reading

We are providing readers and reading listeners in the Charleston Elementary School.  Our members spend about an hour one or more days a week helping 2^nd and 3^rd graders improve their reading skills.  Anyone can join this project and be a good listener.

Food Bank and Food Pantry

Volunteers go to the Food Bank in Sikeston on occasion to help pack food boxes which will be given to low income persons in the 16 county area of Southeast Missouri.  This is done on Saturday mornings and any number of persons can help.
