Church of the Pines Men's Group Recently Built a Porch to
Help a Member of the Church
Help a Member of the Church
This past week, a group from the Church of the Pines Men's Group built a new porch at the home of one of our church members. The Men's Group of the church was first organized in 1950, during the construction of the new church, as they utilized their collective skills to help build the church. For over 75 years, the Men's Group has undertaken projects to maintain and improve the interior and exterior of our church building. They organize events such as church picnics, pancake breakfasts, church cleaning days, and seasonal yard clean-up days. The group is organizing our Strawberry Sunday, which is this coming Sunday, when they will be grilling brats and burgers and preparing a special strawberry dessert for the church's annual picnic gathering in the Ministry Center. Periodically, this multi-talented and skilled group of men undertakes construction and other projects to help our church members. They know how to have fun, enjoy fellowship as they meet monthly for breakfast, and are committed to serving others. Take a look at the photos of their most recent project of building a porch for one of our church members, Clayton Crum. Church of the Pines is blessed to have such a dedicated and talented group of men. The project was led by Jerry Weber, chairman of the church Trustees. Thanks to the follow men for helping with the Porch Project: Jim Anderson, Joe Augitto, Skip Bassett, Ron Capacio, Clayton Crum, Larry Duffee, Tom Frandy, John Lightfoot, John McCadden, Loran Susor, and Jerry Weber. Thank you, also, to John Lightfoot and Tom Frandy for taking the photos!

In 2023, the Church of the Pines reflected on how it was living out its mission of making and growing disciples of Jesus Christ to love and serve the world. In that time, we worked to develop a mission focus that would help us live this mission out.
We identified an ongoing passion within the congregation for working to feed the hungry in our community and worldwide. It was an easy process then to develop our four-year mission focus of increasing food security in our community and throughout the world. Part of that special mission focus is to share our impact each year with the congregation.
As you will see, we have had a real impact in 2024, and we will continue in the years to come! For more information, click below.
