In mid-July 2022, 33 multigenerational volunteers traveled to St. Mary’s Parish, Jamaica to work, serve and provide hope to the community of Galina. Rev. Sondra Ladd, Senior Minister at First Christian Stillwater was the team leader of this trip. Over the years, she has led more than 20 teams to support this mission where bonds and relationships have been formed.

What does a gift of $1,000, a dozen caring hearts, nimble fingers, fabric and time have in common? Beautiful handmade quilts for foster children.

First Christian Church, Chandler, received a gift from a longtime member who passed away in December 1995. Miss Pearl left money and property for the benefit of the church. These gifts have generated excitement within the church family and community.
