...in the Community

 
 
The May 16th CROP Walk raised $5,153.25!!!  Over 75 individuals participated!  Care & Share and The Samaritan Center will each receive about $600.  Jeff Brown was the TOP fundraiser, collecting $1001...Way to go Jeff!  Nancy Reyes and family did a GREAT job organizing this event.
 
 
 
Four of our "church ladies" heeded God's call to do His work! 
Linda Etter, Barbara Brown, Barbara Witman, and Diane Garrison traveled to Springfield, Missouri the week of October 11 to build a house with other Habitat for Humanity volunteers.
 

 

 

Feeding Church

Dinner is served to the hungry every Saturday evening, starting at 5 p.m., in Witman Hall.  To help with this ministry, contact the church office.

P.A.D.S

Public Action to Deliver Shelter.  We house the homeless overnight on Saturdays, November 1 through March 31, through this local church-sponsored program.

Care and Share

Care & Share provides food items for those needing groceries.  A box in the narthex receives your non-perishable donations.  You can contact Care & Share at 805-522-5676.

 

Cancelled Stamps

Profits are used to send needed supplies to missionaries.  Remember, before throwing away your envelopes, tear or cut off the cancelled stamp (1/4" on each side) and place them in the box in the Narthex.  Both domestic and foreign stamps are used for this ministry.

Homeless Task Force

In 1999, the Simi Valley City Council appointed a 19-member Task Force on Homelessness comprised of representatives from City, County, non-profit organizations, and the community-at-large to study the issue of homelessness.  The Task Force guidelines include, in part, gathering information on the agencies that are providing services to the homeless and how the homeless may access these services.   If you are in need of these services, please contact the Task Force on Homelessness Coordinator at (805) 583-6759.
