SERVICE

People who have made a commitment to our faith tradition have made a covenant to "serve all people according to the example of Jesus Christ" and "strive for peace and justice in all the world." This is our response to the free gift of grace that we have received from God.

Doing service and striving for peace and justice in the world is an important part of how our faith and lives are formed. This looks different in the lives of each member, but here are a few organizations and partners with whom we are collectively involved or associated.

Spreading​ Kindknits
Around Thanksgiving every year, Elim hangs handmade scarves outside Copperfield's Books  for anyone to take. Our thanks to Copperfield’s Books for giving us a great space to spread our KindKnits! Thanks also to all those who helped make the beautiful knitted and crocheted scarves for this wonderful outreach project. We’re planning on doing it again for September’s God’s Work Our Hands, so keep those fingers flying throughout the spring and summer!
