Missions & Outreach at St. Mary's Church
As Christians, we are committed to God's command to care for our neighbors, and to do what we can to promote justice, peace, health, and dignity in the communities around us. Saint Mary's does this in several ways, and we're always looking for more ways to help!
|Cooperative Christian Ministry (CCM) We give a monthly contribution to CCM, a non-profit service agency run by a coalition of churches. CCM gives food, clothing, household items, help with utilities, and medicine to persons in need, who live in the 40965 zip code. Parishioners also pick up bread products weekly from a local grocery store and food once a year from God's Pantry, a Lexington, Kentucky based food bank. 2124 Cumberland Avenue Middlesboro, Kentucky 40965 (606) 248-8022 |
| Repair Fair
Every spring, St. Mary's organizes a team to assist in Repair Affair, a project of the Bell-Whitley Community Action Agency. Repair Affair sends teams of workers to the homes of elderly and disabled members of our community to do maintenance and repair work on their houses. A SPECIAL FALL 2016 REPAIR AFFAIR PROJECT: Stay tuned for more information on an upcoming repair affair event in September. For inquiries and information, contact Junior Warden, Jim Frodge (jimandwatina@gmail.com) | St. Mary's Community Playground: A Safe Place for Little Saints Neighborhood children were playing on refuse piles within sight of St. Mary's. Through grants and donations, we were able to raise $15,000 for a community playground on the West side of the church. Children from the Health Department located across the parking lot of the church also use the playground, which gives them something to look forward to after they get their shots (ouch!)
