Construction Renovation Project Loan

Please remember the Braintree Construction Renovation Project Loan. We need your support to pay down this church loan asap to avoid paying thousands dollars in interest needlessly. All current donations given to the CRP fund will be used to pay for this loan. 

 

Church Budget

Prayerfully consider supporting the Braintree Church through giving to the Church Budget. From this fund, all the local ministries and expenses are supported. When we all give consistently, then the church can make ministry plans. Please pray about your role in this important part of church mission.

 

Food Pantry

  • Please contact Kae or Cavour Cumberbatch if you would like to volunteer on Monday or Tuesdays 4-7 p.m.
  • Please prayerfully consider giving to the Food Pantry Ministry. As supply of food is decreasing, the cost of supplementing with purchased food is increasing from the Food Pantry Ministry budget. You can designate your donation on the tithe/offering as Food Pantry or www.adventistgiving.org 'Food Pantry' entry.
  • Also, the truck that was being used for Deliveries of food to the Braintree Church failed. A rental truck is currently being used for deliveries weekly. Please see Kae if you are interested in giving to offset the cost of the truck rental to the Food Pantry budget.
