Brother's Keeper Ministry
"Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Matthew 11:29-30
Brother's Keeper is a fund set up to assist those in our congregation with extraordinary financial needs or emergency support. Those in need can confidentially contact either Rev. Holly Bandel at hbandel@creekwoodumc.org or Rev. Mike Haynes at mhaynes@creekwoodumc.org to inquire about a current need of assistance. The hope is to help bridge the burden during a difficultt time.
Once a year, the communion offering is designated for Brother's Keeper but assistance is needed year round. As a member, you can contribute to this ongoing emergency fund by simply designating a check (made out to Creekwood UMC) to Brother's Keeper Fund, attention Rusty Nickols.
If you are someone in our congregation in need - let us lend a hand to you in this trying time.
For information on any Creekwood Mission opportunity, contact Genny Straughan at gstraughan@creekwoodumc.org.
