“Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known among the nations what He has done, and proclaim that His name is exalted.” (Isaiah 12:14)

The Missions Council administers the missions program, including management of funds budgeted and/or designated for missions. This is guided by our core values and includes:

• activities which stimulate support of mission causes based on prayer.
• promotion of opportunities for members of the congregation to participate in mission projects, including deputation trips and local volunteering.

• Habitat for Humanity: volunteer and financial support for this program.
• Manna Project: satellite ministry to reach Hispanic children and their families in Pasco.
• Mission Perspectives Course: fall, 2008. http://www.midcolumbiaperspectives.org/
• Moment for Mission: three-minute spotlight and prayer during worship service on supported missions.
• English as a Second Language: classes and support for refugees.
• Advocacy: development of small group advocacy for supported missionaries.

Fields of Grace is a gleaning ministry that partners with area farmers and Second Harvest Tri-Cities to provide fresh produce to area residents in need.

Tutoring sessions are offered on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. to academically challenged 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders attending Marcus Whitman Elementary School. Tutors and children eat a light breakfast together before the children are walked over to the school. Students are recommended by their teachers to participate in the program. To find out about being a tutor, substitute, or breakfast helper, call the church office.
