Missions

At Cokesbury we believe that mission and other social action are an integral part of our faith in Jesus Christ.  Our ongoing missions include:

  • Communion and worship at Lorien in Belcamp the third Tuesday of the month at 6:30pm.  If you would like to participate in this all-important ministry, feel free to just show up at 1123 Belcamp Garth,  Belcamp, MD 21017.
  • On the third Tuesday of the month we serve food to the homeless at New Hope Christian Fellowship which is located at 2048 Watergate Court, Edgewood, MD.  If you would like to prepare food or help serve, please contact Kathy Plummer.
