The Grady-Outlaw Memorial Library

In 2003, a not-for-profit corporation was formed to establish a library in the Albertson Community, located at the next crossroads about three miles to our  south.  As a congregation we supported this development with a cash donation and individual members worked to assist in getting the project organized.  The congregation also worked on fund-raising ventures during and since the two-years of planning and preparation as the library became a reality.  The library opened in 2005.

On the first Saturday in November, volunteers from our church sell soft drinks and water at a booth during the Annual Stew Fest that benefits the   Grady-Outlaw library. We also provide a recycle program for all the plastic bottles and aluminum cans discarded during the event.

  

Fifth Sunday Giving

 Each Fifth Sunday in a month, the worship service or a portion of the hour is used to introduce us to the work of a local non-profit organization.  The offering taken during that service goes directly to the organization.  Among the organizations we have helped are Sarah's Refuge in Warsaw, Beads of Courage, Laundry Love of Goldsboro, All the King's Children in Mount Olive, Hurricane Florence Relief for two organizations and two individuals, and Health Volunteers Overseas.  We think it is our responsibility to help support the work of these and other local non-profits.

Partnership with Duplin Mediation Center Youth Court

We serve as a supervision site for Duplin County youth to work off their manditory service hours.
