Outreach Ministries
As we invite and reach out to our community.
We embrace the love of God in all people.
We strive to serve others in the name of Jesus.
Thank you,
Baldwin Community for giving so generously to the Outreach budget. Due to the generosity of our congregation,
many people have experienced the hope, love, and caring that comes from sharing
God’s love in the church, in the community, and in the world.

“…Faith that
does not show itself by good works is no faith at all – it is dead and
useless.” James 2:17
“For I was
hungry and you fed me; I was thirsty and you gave me water; I was a stranger
and you invited me into your home; naked and you clothed me; sick and in
prison, and you visited me.”
Matthew 26:35-37
We try to be
faithful in understanding these words of scripture.
Lord’s Pantry
Approximately 56 families, 120 people including 50 children under the age of 18, come to our church the 4th Thursday of each month to receive food on May 26. Please help by donating cereal this month. Place it in the marked bins throughout the church. Every donation helps.
Please place these foods in the bins throughout the church. Other non-perishable foods and cleaning supplies are always appreciated also. Thank you for your contributions to the Lord’s Pantry Ministry so that no one will go hungry this month.
For further information please call Susan Eyrolles, Lord’s Pantry Steward, at the church.
Our Baldwin Community congregation is very generous in preparing food for the soup kitchen on the North Side. Eight-three meals were served by our confirmands on Sunday, April 3. One lady, after finishing her meal, played beautiful music on the piano while the others finished their meals.
Please contact Sherrill Shepler, Soup Kitchen Steward, if you need further information.
Family Promise ( formerly Interfaith Hospitality Network) (IHN)) of the South Hills is an interdenominational program that links homeless families to local congregations that offer shelter, meals and transportation. Thank you for hosting the families this past year as they take the steps necessary to gain self-sufficiency.
College Boxes
What a joy for a college student to receive a gift box in the mail from his or her church!
Twice a year we send “care packages to our college students and those in the military. Parents, please call the church office with your college student’s college address so that we may send him or her a package. The congregation is invited to donate snacks (pretzels, snack crackers, candy bars, non-liquid microwaveable foods, etc.) that will be used to fill the boxes.
Friends in Deed
Friends in Deed is open to all who have lost a loved one. The group emphasizes the uplifting and pleasant memories of their loved ones. The time together is not a grief counseling session but rather a time of happy memories. They meet the second Friday of each month from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the church Parlor.
Please join with us or contact Joann Wilson, at 412-884-1062, for further information.
