Service Opportunities through Peace: Contact Ruth Clark if you are interested in learning more about our mission ministry at Peace. Here is a list of service opportunities to support through Peace with contact people or website information: Orphan Grain Train – Orphan Grain Train Mission: In Loving response to Christ, the Servant, the Orphan Grain Train movement encourages and enables God’s people to share personal and material resources in bringing Christ’s name and character to needy people, both far and near. Sometimes that character expresses itself as a word well spoken, sometimes as a bandage well applied, and sometimes as a child well fed. www.ogt.org Personal Care items with LOVE INC – Barb Schansberg Matthew 6: 33-34 “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
