The Pandemic Impacts us Differently

As a congregation, we strive to support one another. Our care and concern often extend on a personal or pastoral level. During our current pandemic, however, we realize that some of us might need extra financial help, as well.  April & May's shared plate was to the Minister's Discretionary Fund for helping congregants.

Please let me know if you are in need of financial assistance. Please send me a brief description of your financial challenge, and the amount of assistance hoped for. The fund is limited, and I plan to make the first round of disbursements by June 14, so please submit your request by June 7 to be considered. If you have a more immediate need, please let me know. All requests will be held in my strict confidence. 
Peace be with you all during our pandemic........
