The Outreach Team has designated the September mission offering to benefit American Baptist Home Mission Societies, which receive funding from the American Baptist One Great Hour of Sharing offering. OGHS is an ecumenical effort of nine Christian denominations working in cooperation with Church World Service, to assist communities in times of crisis and provide immediate relief and long-term recovery after disasters. AHMS support crisis relief ministries across the U.S. and Puerto Rico.

On September 25, the Living Faith Team will welcome Lynne Punnett, ABC Region Consultant for short-term missions, to speak to us about organizing mission teams in Haiti, which she has coordinated each year since 2011. She will also update us about ministries to Puerto Rico and the recent flooding crisis in Kentucky.
