Advocacy

And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.’  Matthew 25:40

St. Paul’s Outreach Ministry seeks to be the hands and feet of Christ to the Woodbridge community and to God’s children throughout the world.

We reach out in accordance with Matthew 25:40 to provide assistance to people in need and to build bridges through relationships. We also work to increase understanding of social issues and to communicate the link between these issues and faithful discipleship.

In addition to feeding and clothing the homeless, we participate in the Cooperative Council of Ministries to advocate for the homeless, working poor, and those in need.

In addition, St. Paul UMC is an active participant in Virginians Organized for Interfaith Community Engagement (VOICE).  VOICE is a diverse, non-partisan organization that encourages people across religious, racial, economic, and political party affiliations to work together for social justice and to build a stronger Northern Virginia.  For more information about VOICE, go to www.voice-iaf.org
