Together we Serve
But be very careful to keep the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you:
to love the LORD your God, to walk in obedience to him, to keep his commands, to hold fast to him and to SERVE
him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Joshua 22:5
Serving with and beyond the congregation
As our name indicates, MISSION is a vital
part of the life at Mission del Sol.
Mission is not static, many of our community needs fluctuate over time. New Opportunities are brought to our attention by Mission del Sol members who have a calling to help. The Projects highlighted below represent a snapshot of Mission del Sol's MISSIONS and social justice portfolio and generally describe the activities undertaken in the last couple of years.
PLEASE JOIN US in serving our community!
