The purpose of our Mission and Service Team is to direct Milwaukee Mennonite Church in serving our neighbors and pursuing reconciliation within our community, city, nation, and world. The team strives towards that purpose by:
Coordinating service opportunities that enable people within the congregation to participate in ways that use their time and gifts to extend God’s love, peace, hope and justice to the world.
Seeking service opportunities that will enable us to build relationships with those whom we serve that are characterized by honor and respect.
Guiding in good stewardship the funds designated for mission and service.
Keeping the congregation informed about global concerns and Mennonite service organizations’ activities around the world.
In the past year we have supported the following organizations:
Quarterly service projects this year include a clothing drive, a letter writing campaign to address issues in Colombia, and assembling kits of school supplies. Finally, we have also been exploring ways to address environmental and justice issues around food through an initiative called Just Community Food.
