During this time of unprecedented impact by the pandemic virus outbreak, many are asking how they can be used to assist those most affected or at risk. Here are a few ways we recommend for your prayerful consideration:

• Be in prayer for God to move in a significant way to use you and this outbreak to bring others to Himself and for His protection and provision.
• Check with your neighbors to see if they have any needed assistance you can provide. This is a great way to bless them!
• Volunteer to drive a senior to medical visits, grocery assistance or other needs. For years we have provided this service through our affiliate, Faith in Action Drive a Senior Northwest. You can volunteer here.
• Be a Servant on Standby (SOS). If anyone in our church family has an immediate need, they can contact our SOS coordinator and it will be distributed out to our SOS team to respond. You can join our SOS distribution or request a need by contacting: [email protected] 
• Volunteer or receive assistance from our food pantry and clothes closet, Reveal. You can volunteer for Monday morning set up or distribution on Monday evenings and Tuesday mornings. You can get more information and connect here.
• Due to the economic downturn and loss of income for many in our family, they will need assistance through our Hope Benevolence Ministry. If you would like to give to assist in this, and give beyond your regular giving, you may make a donation online to our benevolence fund here.

We are joining forces with the COVID Rangers to provide local hospitals and other agencies with masks and mask covers for their staff as they serve to protect our community. You can assist through a number of ways:

• Donating materials and supplies - tight weave cotton/poly blend (fun colors), 1/4" herringbone tape or bias tape, floral or light weight wire for nose strips
• Cutting out material from patterns
• Sewing mask covers
• Processing completed mask covers for quality control, laundry, and distribution

Signup here to be a part of the Hill Country arm of the COVID Rangers. Once you submit your information, you will receive an email with information on how to move forward.

For additional information, please contact Donna Ashcraft, [email protected] or Angela Wirtz, [email protected]
