Sunday May 22 will be our morning to give to our Spring Outreach Offering. What makes this opportunity to give financially special from other Sunday celebrations is that every dollar given, unless otherwise specified, goes to support the outreach causes we have adopted for Mountain Park. Most recently you may recall our involvement in Feed My Starving Chlidren. Through outreach giving we were able to package over 100,000 meals for starving children around the world and an additional 45,000 meals for families in Japan affected by the earthquake and insuing tsunami.

Where Is the Money Going?

Leading up to the Spring Outreach Offering we'd love to help inform you on where the money is going and how it is affecting lives for Jesus.
