"Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." Matthew 25:40
The heart of the Othello Presbyterian Church is to follow Christ's commandments. Whether individually or as a church, we serve our neighbors.
Food Bank
Members support the Othello Food Bank by designating a portion of their giving to the Food Bank. Our Food Bank currently serves over 400 families each week.
Vacation Bible School
We join with three other churches to offer an ecumenical vacation Bible school for children K-6. Each church takes turns hosting and all contribute teachers, games and snacks.
Soul2Sole
Each year, for one Sunday, our youth take over Ironworks (a local bistro) and sell lattes, Italian sodas and freshly-baked cinnamon rolls. The money earned is used to purchase shoes for our local school children.
Blankets
Our junior high youth hand tie fleece blankets to be distributed with the Community Food Baskets at Christmas. Members also contribute blankets for the baskets.
Hat and Mitten Drive
Each year we gather new hats/mittens/scarves for those children in need. The items collected are given to the elementary schools for distribution.
Assisted Living Residence
We offer worship and Communion for the residents of Coventry House Assisted Living each month.
Animals for Developing Countries
Our children bring an offering to our Wednesday Crosswalk program. Their money purchases animals for a developing country. Each year they “vote” to see what animals they should purchase, and nearly always, the piglets win out!
Spanish Worship
We share our building with Vida Abundante, a Spanish-speaking congregation. This allows us to offer outreach to an important part of our community.
We seek to reach beyond our community by contributing to Worldwide Ministries of PCUSA through One Great Hour of Sharing and Presbyterian Disaster Assists.
