Outreach Committee

The mission of the Outreach Committee is to respond to human needs in the Parish, the Diocese, and the World, to serve the poor and the marginalized with love, as we support the Mission of Saint Paul’s Church, to spread the good news of God in Jesus Christ.

VETERANS OUTREACH
The focus of this program to is to provide fellowship at regular events at the Georgia War Veteran’s Nursing Home. We have a party for these disabled veterans four times each year and always include their favorite ice cream. Many of these veterans have served in World War II, Korea, and Viet Nam, Contact June Newton for more information.

LYNNDALE
We have developed a strong bond with Lynndale West, which is an independent living facility for developmentally challenged adults. We have devotional and classes for residents on life skills topics such as money management, safety, and cooking. Most importantly we just enjoy being with them and having fun. They love to sing and party. Contact Margaret Jordan for more information.
