Scriptures for Missions

…and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and in Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:8

In all this I have given you an example that by such work we must support the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus for he himself said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Acts 20:35

For many years, Harundale Church has supported the Jim and Jodi McGill Family, PCUSA missionaries (Pictured to the left).

Jim serves with the Evangelical Church in the Republic of Niger (EERN) and the Presbyterian Church of South Sudan (PCOSS) to ensure sustainability for clean water and sanitation at both community and user levels. He works with the church in being a strong participant in the rural development of Niger and South Sudan and an effective advocate for the health of its people. Jodi serves with the EERN in its efforts to create and staff church-run health clinics and to train students in its new nursing school. She also works in the EERN health clinic on a regular basis. Keep up with the McGill family and sign up for their updates at PC(USA) Mission

  • The Center hosts church groups of all ages for mission experiences that allow participants to engage in hands-on service, while also taking time to reflect theologically and learn about the intersection between compassion, justice, and faith. 
  • HPC regularly hosts local and out of state groups for The Center; they serve with our lunch program and learn about the homeless community in Glen Burnie.

Anne Arundel County Food Bank

Founded in 1986, the Anne Arundel County Food Bank (AACFB) was established to collect, purchase, and distribute food to not-for-profit, human service organizations in Anne Arundel County.  

  • AACFB is the only free multipurpose agency in Maryland that provides food, nutritional supplements, medical equipment, furniture, vehicles, appliances and more free of charge. To ensure all areas of Anne Arundel County are covered, especially those in low income communities, the food bank offers services free of charge.
  • At HPC, we utilize the resources of the Food Bank for our Feeding the Hungry ministries, from Taste of Heaven lunches to stocking our pantry shelves. 
  • Through the Food Bank, we are also connected to FoodLink, who sponsors our quarterly Produce Drops. 

Harundale also opens our doors to various meetings for community groups and events, including, NA.
