The purpose of the Social Ministry Team is to follow Jesus' commandment to love one another as he loved us. To offer opportunities to our congregation to be good and faithful servants. To share the love and truth of Jesus Christ and to offer hope to all God's children by giving of our time, our money and ourselves to our church, our community, and the world.
One of our Social Ministry Projects for December is our Angel Tree.
Galatians 6:10 ~ "Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers."
This year the proceeds from the Angel Tree have been designated to the Pastor’s Discretionary Fund. These funds can be distributed to members of our church family not only for grocery gift cards but also for other emergency financial aid. You can participate in this project by giving a financial donation to Janet.
We will also be SHARING CHRISTMAS WITH “James”, “Sophia” and “Kareem” FROM MARTIN LUTHER SCHOOL now known as GEMMA SERVICESMartin Luther School/Gemma Services “where hope shines” in Plymouth Meeting was founded as an orphanage. It now provides a home, treatment, education and other services for boys and girls, ages 6 to 14, who have experienced past traumas, including abuse, neglect and poverty. All services are provided in a nurturing environment that promotes recovery, resilience and, where possible, families reunited.
Your social ministry team is asking you to support three children, an 8 year old, an 11 year old and a 12 year old. Gifts for them will be on display on Sunday, December 8. After the church service, you will be asked to make your donations toward our goal of $195.
Your Christian love for these children is most appreciated by the School and especially by the children. As they unwrap their presents, it brings them great joy and excitement knowing others care so very much!
May your holidays be blessed as you are blessing these children! -In Christ, Sharon Hood
Update on our October Social Ministry Project: We donated 32 boxes of Stove Top stuffing and 3 boxes of boxed potatoes to the Hatfield Food Cupboard located at the Emanuel Community Congregational Church in Hatfield. Thank you, Faith family!
FELLOWSHIP MINISTRY: The Fellowship Ministry Team at Faith tries to schedule activities for members of the congregation to spend time together to strengthen their bonds outside of the traditional worship service. We also encourage members to bring their family, friends and members of the community to these activities. This strengthens our ties to one another and opens opportunities to meet new people.

“For I am certain that nothing can separate us from his love: neither death nor life, neither angels nor other heavenly rulers or powers, neither the present nor the future, neither the world above nor the world below--there is nothing in all creation that will ever be able to separate us from the love of God which is ours through Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39 (GNT)
In an effort to make our prayer list more manageable we are working on a new system in which the full prayer list will be in the Mustard Seed, while the list in the Prayers of Intercession in the Weekly Bulletin will include prayers only for Faith members and immediate family. Please submit requests to Janet in the church office at [email protected], specify whether the need is “ongoing” or “current” and please notify her if and when the name can be removed from the list.
