Ministry Updates
Bread and Jam Baskets
The Sharon Mission Group (SMG) is part of the Women's Missions and Ministries (WMM). The WMM supports both local and global mission efforts through outreach projects and by raising missional awareness within our church.
One of the ongoing projects of the Sharon Group is the "Bread and Jam" ministry. This began back in the mid-80s in order to welcome ladies who are new members. The purpose of this is to not only welcome new ladies, but to inform them of mission opportunities and church resources they may be interested in. They are presented with a reusable floral tote bad filled with a loaf of sourdough bread, a jar of jam, a teatowel, and a Mission Mosaic magazine filled with stories of a variety of mission stories from America and international missionaries.
Also included in the tote is a calendar that gives a glimpse of each of the group's monthly projects. Some of the monthly projects include valentines for nursing home residents, flowers delivered to homebound church members, and supporting various other organizations within our community such as One More Child, Pregnancy Care Center, Another Way, VA Domiciliary, and Lad Soup Kitchen.
