On Our Own

This group is a ministry of individuals that are ‘On Our Own’ including single, widowed or divorced, and welcome caregivers with spouses not able to be socially active and those that are separated from their families.  Our purpose is to provide friendship, support, and fellowship through our monthly group meetings, events and social activities and support many missions in the church.

Our major service project has been providing Snack Packs for local elementary schools.  We currently support the Stanton-Weirsdale Elementary School. This includes handling items donated, shopping for items needed and packing and delivering them to the school.  They are distributed to the many needy children to take home for the weekend.  Eighty packs are assembled each month of the school year at 9 am prior to our monthly meeting.  In addition, we participate in many other endeavors and support many other missions and functions of the church and community.
