Community Outreach

The practice of offering support to community members is a long tradition of the church.  We take seriously Jesus’ command to “love neighbour” and live that out thorough works of charity, mercy and hospitality.  Outreach happens in a variety of ways.  The following activities represent some of the outreach that both Sparling and Rosser Grosse Isle are engaged in.  If you wish to know more about these outreach activities please feel free to contact us.
