We will be back on Zoom next Sunday. EVENTS

Benevolence Team Update Dec 2022
What is the Benevolence Team?
The Benevolence Team is responsible for proposing the recipient(s) for our quarterly benevolence giving. How do we arrive at the amount to donate? The benevolence fund amount is based on general giving, 4% of general giving is calculated each quarter. The Benevolence team then meets to discuss needs in the community and make a designation for the special gifts. Your giving to ChristChurch also impacts local organizations with financial gifts. 2022 Contributions and Recipients: Q1: Greater Good NW to assist with housing applications that will benefit our neighbors $938 Q2: Safe Place Eagle Scout Project Q3: Thanksgiving Baskets $2035.00 Who is on the Team? There are about 10 volunteers on the team. How can I get involved? The team meets on Zoom and via email. If you are interested in joining the team, please contact Rachael.
