Mission – We are a people participating in God's mission in the world.. We participate in missions as we are sent out by God to be Jesus’ witnesses in the various places that life takes us. In the church and in the neighborhood we are aware of the global dimensions of that calling. African, Latin American, Caribbean parishioners connect us to the need in those places and what God is doing there. The Hindu store owners, the local Buddhist Temple, and the Muslim neighbors again connect us in a way that we must pay attention and discover our part in God’s loving work in the world. We support people who are sent to other places to bring the good news of God.
