Community
Outreach
Habitat for Humanity
Our Parish actively supports Habitat in a variety of ways, with parishoners: serving on the board of directors, volunteering building expertise, and occasionally providing food and refreshments at the builds. Contact Chuck Cruikshank.
Episcopal Relief and Development
This ministry allows the congregation to support those in greatest need.
In addition to ongoing support, large donations were made for Tsunami
and Hurricane Katrina relief. Contributions are collected monthly for
farm animals and mosquito nets for ERD.
Angel Food Ministries
Parishoners serve in leadership positions, as well as by helping to process and distribute food orders.
Contact Carol Weyer.
Huntingdon Food Bank
Parishoners donate canned goods, which are collected at the church each Sunday. The Youth Sunday School Classes routinely hold can "drives," and parishoners have donated Angel Food Ministries food orders directly to the Food Bank. Parishoners also serve in leadership positions.
Contact Ginny Gill.
Seaman's Church Institute
Over the past several years, our dedicated team of knitters have contributed HUNDREDS of scarves, hats, socks and vests to the Institute, which then distributes these to ships.
Contact Lois Cruikshank.
