Mission @ Baldwin Community
Baldwin Community Church was founded to serve the community and continues in that strong tradition. Current mission opportunities include:
Lord’s Pantry Giving: Each month we collect food items to help support the Lord’s Pantry located within our Church. The Lord’s Pantry is affiliated with the Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank. The cuts in funding to the Food Bank has affected our Lord’s Pantry and so to help – our Congregation has supplied needed food items each month.
Families come to our Church the 3rd Thursday of each month for grocery items. We are asking for the following items in November – (Jeff – see Newsletter for items) to be delivered to the marked bins on November 8th and 9th. Items can be brought in up to Pantry day which is Thursday 11/20.
