RECTOR'S DISCRETIONARY FUND
The RECTOR'S DISCRETIONARY FUND meets some of the needs of those who come to the church requiring food, utilities, gasoline for medical appointments, bus fare to help them on their way, a room for the nigh, etc.
We partner with the Jubilee Center and other churches and institutions so our money can do the most good.
Our committee invites our visitors to tell their stories, to determine whether our provisions will help them move beyond their need or merely help them through another day.. Sometimes, for instance, a room for a night or two is less help than a bus ticket that takes them where they want to be, but have no way to get there.

HUMAN TRAFFICKING AWARENESS
Red Sand in the sidewalks, was one of the steps taken to make people aware of the increasing escalation of human trafficking, not just world wide, but right here in Keareny and the state of Nebraska.
Flyers are left in public places with hotline numbers and hopeful messages that are designes to encourage trafficking victims to hold on to their sense of self worth and believe in hope.
This committee also brings people together to be introduced to this problem and seek solutions. Services are held to remember the victims and pray for their freedom. Former victim graduates from Omaha's Magdalene Center are invited to come and tell their stories. And funds are given to the center for support.
