Mission Projects

Children at Sheridan have the opportunity to participate in mission projects throughout the year through their offering.  Offering envelopes are available in the Children’s Ministry Wing.  We invite you to talk with your children about this project and to keep the mission recipients in your prayers.

The current Children’s Ministry mission project is Kids Against Hunger.  Kids Against Hunger is a nonprofit organization with the mission to significantly reduce the number of hungry children in the USA and to feed starving children throughout the world. This is being achieved by getting volunteers involved, and by setting up food packaging satellites in the USA, and through partnerships with humanitarian organizations worldwide - enabling Kids Against Hunger to deliver its specially formulated rice-soy casserole to starving children and their families in over 40 countries. The Kids Against Hunger network currently includes 30 food packaging satellites in 16 US states, one of which is in Lincoln.

Faith Stepping Stones

Faith Stepping Stones are short courses presented in workshop format throughout the year. These workshops form the beginning of the Confirmation program and provide a special opportunity for parents and children to learn together about some important parts of a life of faith.
