The Service and Charitable Works Team conducts many acts of love toward the members of our congregation in need and encourages all members to Christian service in our community and the world with the assistance of council and guidance from the pastor. Examples of service and charitable works include:
- Arranging visitation and seasonal gifts to our shut-ins
- Coordinating participation in outward focused service projects, e.g., Operation Inasmuch, Snacks in Packs
- Seeking members to serve as representative to God’s Helping Hands
- Reviewing the congregation’s annual commitments to outside ministries and service organizations, and suggesting revisions to the council
- Counseling members of the congregation in their pursuit of charitable acts within and outside this congregation

In addition, cards were sent at Easter and poinsettias were delivered the week before Christmas. Gift cards were also sent to Greg Chapman and Katie Doble.
Team members assisted the Young Adult/Youth Ministry in preparing for Trunk or Treat which was well attended in spite of the rain.
