Social Awareness
The Social Awareness Committee at the Church of the Messiah focuses on
local, national and global needs of the human community. We review
information about areas of need that have been brought to our attention
through the parish. In addition, from time to time, we share some of
the information or resources that focus on an area of need in a
particular place.
It is our responsibility to make recommendations to the Vestry as to
where funds are either distributed, or in the case of our Easter and
Christmas offerings, what institution or program they might be sent.
Our focuses range from educational and health issues to specific needs
facing individual groups, as well as many areas in between.
We are motivated by God’s call to serve one another on this “fragile earth, our island home.”
