Outreach
We support missions locally and globally. Local missions include the Lansing City Rescue Mission, Grand Ledge Emergency Assistance Program, Blessings in a Backpack and various domestic shelters and food banks. We are currently supporting two missionaries, one in Haiti and one in Zambia.
Our Threads of Hope quilting group creates quilts for baptisms and weddings, for the sick, or to send to our missionaries. We also have a knitting/crocheting ministry which makes prayer shawls and hats for chemo patients and premature babies.
