MISSIONAL 
OPPORTUNITIES

God provides us with resources, spiritual gifts and talents to support each other. Stanwich World Missions wants to offer opportunities for care, love and community to be experienced in the church. 

 

There are myriad ways to help our neighbors and below are just a few (list updated regularly):

 Christ Has No Body

Christ has no body but yours,
No hands, no feet on earth but yours,
Yours are the eyes with which he looks
Compassion on this world,
Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good,
Yours are the hands, with which he blesses all the world.
Yours are the hands, yours are the feet,
Yours are the eyes, you are his body.
Christ has no body now but yours,
No hands, no feet on earth but yours,
Yours are the eyes with which he looks
compassion on this world.
Christ has no body now on earth but yours.

 

Saint Teresa of Avila (1515–1582)

OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE

As a church, we seek Missional engagement to know Christ and make him known and to serve all people according to Christ’s example. We can do this by working alongside our local ministries as well as other projects or organizations that you or your Life Group may be interested in supporting.
