BACK TO SCHOOL – backpacks and supplies. See lists for classes and ages at https://www.arkoffaith.org/back-to-school-aug2020/

VETERANS – guitars, ukuleles, autoharps (or funds) to donate to our veterans’ guitar class

Learning, Sharing & Giving

LEARNING

Matthew 25: 35-36 ‘For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; I was naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’

We help people address physical, emotional and spiritual needs through our classes and celebrating the arts–music, writing, dance, visual and graphic arts.

SHARING

sharingMatthew 25: 37-39 Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? ‘And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? ‘When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’

We bring talented people together. Those needing support are empowered to share their own talents with others.

GIVING

givingMatthew 25: 40 The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, when you did it to one of these, my brothers and sisters, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’

No person is denied services or participation on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, handicap, age, creed, belief, gender, or political affiliation. Economic status may be a factor, regarding programs complying with government regulations. We are run by committed volunteers and your generous donations.
