Shutdown Support

Abiding Presence is here to support members of the congregation and community who are impacted by the government shutdown.

Food Assistance
Prepacked bags of food are available outside the main entrance of the church. They can be discretely picked up anytime. Grocery gift cards are available from the church office and/or by contacting Pastor Keseley.

Mainly Music
Mainly Music is our parent/caregiver and child interactive music program that meets on Tuesdays. Registration begins at 10:30 a.m. and the music starts at 10:45 a.m. There is usually a suggested donation of $5/family, but families impacted by the shutdown are invited to be our guests - no donation expected - through the end of the shutdown.

Wednesday Night Dinner
We serve dinner every Wednesday from 6:00 - 6:45 p.m. There is usually a freewill donation for dinner, but families impacted by the shutdown are invited to be our guests - no donation expected - through the end of the shutdown.

Financial Assistance
Financial assistance may be available. Contact Pastor Keseley for more information.

Emotional Support, Conversation and/or Prayer
The Abiding Presence sanctuary is always open for personal prayer and/or reflection. Members of the clergy are also available for conversation, prayer and or support. Contact Pastor Keseley or Pastor Eickstadt for more information.
