The mission of Common Cup Ministry is to gather and share spiritual and
financial resources of area churches into one "Common Cup" so that we
may
minister to those in need.
Common Cup Ministry is a non-profit organization created by
a group of local churches in 2002, to help people with emergency needs. St.
Anastasia is one of the founding churches, and Common Cup Ministry is now one of
our main outreach ministry programs. St. Anastasia is represented on Common
Cup’s Board of Directors and Advisory Council. In addition, several parishioners
are on-call volunteers, meeting directly with those requesting assistance, and
helping them in any way they can.
On-call volunteers carry a cell phone and answer calls
from people seeking assistance for emergency food and shelter, make appointments
with other agencies for them and meet with people at the Hope Center; seek
solutions in a gentle and non-judgmental manner while providing a Christian
witness; pray and distribute Bibles; use a referral or voucher system. Receive 1
on 1 training on the job until comfortable. Meet over the noon hour the 2nd
Tuesday of each month for support and additional training. Contact the office at
234-8344.
