Special Offerings
Sunnyslope Church intentionally strives to support ministries both locally and around the globe each year. Our giving to these programs are through our SPECIAL OFFERINGS program. These funds are contributed above and beyond our annual operating budget. Below is a snapshot of some of the organizations we are currently supporting locally, nationally and internationally.
January – Native American Support: Church Of Brethren (COB) Lybrook
Lybrook Community Ministries is a mission to the Navajo people living in northern New Mexico. They strive to bring the love of Jesus to the Navajo people and the community around the mission, simply, peacefully, and together. With the community located forty miles from any major store and many without adequate transportation, LCM fills a number of community needs. Among these are education, transportation, and crisis / addiction counseling.
