Funding for Missions are allocated from Trinity, a line item in the annual budget, fund raising projects, donations from the congregation, and the Georgia Clayborn Trust Fund. Meetings are  the 2nd Tuesday of the month in the chapel at 6:30pm. 

We started out the year, excited to resume our preparation and serving of dinners at the Share Center in Battle Creek.  This center provides meals for homeless individuals and families and all people in need.  We committed to providing meals on the 5th Friday.  All members of BOM were happy to be able to do this again.  It is a great gift and also creates fellowship opportunities for our members and others who join in to help.

We were introduced to a new charity this year. The All Access Fund (Marshall Community Foundation Endowed Field of Interest Fund).  This was created by a young man from Marshall who has physical disabilities and his desire to make our community more accessible.  We promoted this in the Parish and provided funds through an open plate offering in December.

At the end of the year, we sent $7,000 to 18 different agencies as listed in our financial report prepared by and giving thanks to Diane Vezmar, our Trinity Bookkeeper.
