Weekly Happenings

It is only when we are aware of the earth
as poetry that we truly live.


-Henry Beston

Change for Change

Our Change for Change partner for June, July, and August is Dayspring Programs in East Baltimore. Dayspring's mission is to improve the lives of children and families affected by substance abuse, homelessness, and poverty.

Members of our church serve on the Board of Dayspring and its staff, and volunteer to provide opportunities for residents to participate in meditation and yoga classes. Our church also initiated and sponsors Dayspring Garden, providing learning opportunities for children and their moms in planting, tending, and harvesting fresh vegetables, along with enjoying flowers and shade trees. 

More information is available during Fellowship Hour at the Peace and Justice Ministry table.
