Missions News ![]() Collections for the various missions and outreach projects from First Church in Downtown Erie for 2020 totalled over 26% of our annual budget. We are so grateful to God that we were able to continue missions as strongly as we did in 2020. Please remember that despite the government restrictions, the needs around our community and around the globe have not shutdown. We have multiple ongoing missions projects, and are always searching for new ways to show Christ's love. Our
Neighbors Place is actively seeking volunteers to help with overnight shelters for the homeless. Our Neighbors Place will take gently used clothes (shoes, boots,
coats, etc.),
deodorant, shampoo, soap, toothbrushes and toothpaste, Kleenex, combs,
etc.
