This past year Hurricane Katrina devastated our Mississippi Gulf Coast. That event transformed our town into an Evacuee Center and made our church a coordinating center for many in need and many more from around the country that wanted to contribute to the relief effort. Our mission efforts included being a good steward to donated funds, providing school supplies to evacuee children, finding apartments and furniture for evacuated people, sending work teams to the Gulf Coast and contributing money to The Presbyterian Disaster Relief project set up on the coast. We are planning to send additional work teams to the coast this year because the need is great and recovery is still a long way off.

The 2-Cents-A-Meal offering is a long-term tradition at our church. The contributions from our 2-Cents-A-Meal are used by our Presbytery to fund Hunger Action Grants to Food Banks throughout northeast Mississippi.

Our church has adopted two Army units currently serving in Iraq the 3-8 Cav 1st CD and the 2-16 Inf. 1st ID under a mission we call Operation Soldier Care.

The 3rd Battalion 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division is known as the Warhorse Regiment. The 2nd Battalion 16 Regiment, 1st Infantry Division is known as the Rangers. We have collection boxes in the church office and in the fellowship hall where you can drop off donations to support the troops of these units. The donated materials are split between the two regiments.
