Sheridan Lutheran Church's Mission Moment

Mission Moment

January 2018

A note from Sheridan's Mission & Outreach Ministries

Barnabas Community News

This past year has proven to be a busy year for Barnabas Community. Our leadership structure has grown and our non-profit status is almost complete.

Barnabas continues to provide free clothing, household goods, toys and books. Hundreds of families are served each week. The majority of these families and individuals are the working poor, new Americans, disabled, fixed income, veterans and homeless.

All of the Barnabas volunteers do amazing work as they provide excellent service to guests, making them feel honored and valued.

The meal ministry serves on average 130 people either at Thursday night supper or Saturday morning breakfast every week.

Please continue to support and pray for our Barnabas Community. The Sheridan Lutheran community is the primary financial sponsor and volunteer base. Barnabas would not be where it is without all of you!
