The vital part, the heart and soul
of christian science, is love
At the heart of our church mission is our practice of tithing to organizations whose good works, we support both locally and around the world. We contribute ten percent of our collection to our monthly tithing recipient but more important is our support of their mission through individual and collective prayer. Through prayer requests from each organization we learn about their specific needs and challenges and often address these topics from a spiritual standpoint in our Wednesday testimony meetings.
We cherish each one of our tithing partners. We feel honored to link arms with them in support of all they are doing for humanity. They really are an extension of our church family!
We invite representatives from these organizations to speak to our congregation about the impact of their missions. Their informative and inspirational presentations allow us to better support them prayerfully. Several of our tithing partners were introduced to us by church members who are directly or indirectly involved with them. We love cherishing both these members and their favored public benefactors in this way!
DECEMBER
TITHING RECIPIENT
CREER
Comunidad Y Familia
We are tithing for December to our longtime community partner CREER, Comunidad Y Familia in support of their current top priority: providing food assistance to the growing number of families in local neighborhoods in need of help. "Many of our communities have been severely affected by the current economy and the severe cutbacks in government support. We hold a food and diaper distribution event every other Tuesday and due to the constant change in food availability we have had to turn away families recently (after serving 143 families and 137 children in one day).
"Although 95% of the families CREER serves are living in poverty and are of Hispanic descent, our programs are open to anyone needing food, diapers or educational support, never discriminatory. We are looking to the future with hope and with the generosity of so many in our community we will be sure our children and their families all have food on their tables.
With infinite gratitude! CREER"
