September Service + Missions Focus
Elizabeth Memorial’s mission statement is: 1) Building relationships that open the door for the work of the Holy Spirit; 2) Meeting the basic needs of people, food for example; and 3) Advocating for systemic change to ensure a level playing field for all.
Local missions: Support the work of several local mission agencies and projects by providing food, clothing, furniture and other items in Kanawha County. Also, support Heart + Hand Outreach Ministries, BREAM shop, Covenant House, Roosevelt Seniors Program, Sojourners, Davis Shelter, the Angel Tree Project and John Adams Middle School.
