Mary Jean Crane

Deacon of Benevolence

Benevolence is helping those in need both within and outside of our congregation. Help often consists of providing food, but we also can meet other needs. Prayer is the guiding factor in this ministry - if we see a need, we take the appropriate action. Helping in the community is also an outreach program. We use it as an avenue to show people how God works and how we as God’s chosen people behave. Our example is our reputation and one of the best way to bring people to Christ.
