| The Sheep and Goats Committee seeks
the fullness of life in Christ for all people by serving
people in need in our community and world. With Christ
as its reference and example, the committee helps the
congregation study, understand, and act upon issues that
concern the community, nation, and world. Thus, individuals
and groups from the family of Grace stand with people
in need - the sick, the lonely, the poor, the homeless,
the imprisoned, the disinherited, the unwanted, the troubled,
and the unloved. |
