Outreach
The outreach and mission of the church continues in earnest even in this time of physical distancing. The following are giving and service opportunities to support those experiencing food insecurity, economic distress or who are otherwise vulnerable in our community. Many of these organizations represent ongoing mission partnerships with SSPC.
Neighborhood Care Coordinators
In response to the coronavirus, the Congregational Care Team has created a new ministry called Neighborhood Care Coordinators. The main purpose of this ministry is to create a system for regularly checking in on some of our more virus vulnerable members and to offer assistance to any who have or develop needs during this period of social distancing. If you have or develop a need to have someone pickup groceries, medications, or assist in other ways, please contact the coordinator for your neighborhood/area. Additionally, if you would like to be added to the list of those willing to help do these tasks please email your name and information to Molly Macaulay (mmmpr@bellsouth.net).
