The parish continue to generously support in 2009 the programs under taken by this committee. The Outreach Committee directs our support locally and worldwide focusing on those efforts on which the parish members have directly worked. Locally the parish continues to support both the FM and the Grace Church Food Pantries. Refugee Resettlement, ABC House, and FM Food Pantry received direct financial contributions from the committee this year. The Committee hosted (with others) and funded the open house for the community of our new Hospitality House in Sep. We had another very successful collection for the Salvation Army Tree of Lights. We walked for CROP in the Fall. All of these are projects on which our members have personally worked, devoting time as well as treasure.
