Changing the World

There is Thanks in Giving!

As we prepare for the upcoming Thanksgiving season, we plan our menus, our travel, our time around the table, and our time with family and friends to partake in food that has been so lovingly prepared.

Our brothers and sisters in the Southeastern part of the United States won't have this opportunity to give thanks. Instead, this kind of Thanksgiving won't be a reality for millions affected by Hurricane Helene and Milton.

We are blessed in many ways.  When we partnered with New Life Covenant Church in Atlanta, we also partnered with Rev. Dr. Catherine Gilliard, who has served as co-pastor of New Life Covenant Church in Atlanta, Georgia. We spent time with her while on our pilgrimage this past summer.

She serves as Superintendent of the Evangelical Covenant Church's Southeast Conference and oversees the areas affected by the hurricanes in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

Rev. Dr. Catherine Gilliard is on the ground, leading the effort through our ECC Covenant to relieve the affected areas under her watch. Yes, there is Thanks in Giving.  Those who receive your donations will be thankful.

South Bay Community Church, let's make a difference and directly impact those in need by giving.

You can make contributions through the giving portal (select 'Disaster Relief') or through our traditional offering options.
