Accomplishments

In the February 2019 Progress report, the organization reported a membership of 29 young women and men. In August 2019 our numbers increased by 26%: bringing our current membership level to 39.

In concurrence with our objective of providing material support to our members, church, surrounding community and country of origin, the organization has collected over 200 lbs. of clothing to distribute and ship to those in dire need both locally and international.

In leading, mentoring and counseling, the organization facilitates the Time with The Children segment every Sunday by engaging the Sunday school in a brief scripture reading and discussion in front of the congregation. In addition, 15% of the group serves on the Board of Trustees, Nomination Committee, Education Committee, and other administrative boards in the church. On October 12, facilitators of the group organized an outing to welcome the new members to the group, and as a show of cohesiveness and camaraderie in the service of God.
