Current Mission: Amy & Adbeel Alvarez in Guatemala
Our January through March mission project is helping Adbeel and Amy DeYoung Alvarez in Guatemala. Amy grew up in our church here in Wilton Center. She and her husband Adbeel are missionaries in Guatemala. The past several years they have been constructing a retreat center allowing them to host teams that come to their area for mission work, teams that come to provide aid, or teams that teach the people in the local villages. Their current need is help make construction loan payments. Amy's Christmas newsletter explains the details. The newsletter is on the narthex table. If you'd like help provide support for their work in Guatemala, you can give online using the "Give" button below. Checks with notation "Amy" can be given in the offering. Thank you so much for your prayers and generosity.

California Wildfire Support - January 2025
We have all seen pictures on the news of the wildfires in and around Los Angeles, California. It's hard to look at the images of entire streets, blocks and communities burnt to the ground. It is harder yet to imagine how that devastation has uprooted the lives of so many people. Where do you live when your house and the houses of neighbors and family members have all been destroyed? Where do you send your children to school when their school no longer exists? Where do you buy groceries? Where do you go to work? How do you get there when your car was burnt in the fires?
And yet through it all, God is there, and God calls us to help. Our current mission is in partnership with the American Baptist Home Mission Society where everyone is invited to join their One Great Hour of Sharing effort. Donations will be used to provide relief and hope to those who have lost so much. 100% of the donations will be directed to the designated disaster areas to address immediate needs as well as long term support. Your gift will make a difference in the lives of people you may not know. It will demonstrate God's love and provision in a time that must seem hopeless.
