Day 16

Acts 2:42-47

One of the secret ministries at Chapelgate is not so secret, but works in confidentiality, and it is our Benevolence Team, which is a Committee of our Diaconate. Throughout the year, they meet with people in need, offering financial advice and financial assistance. In times of distress, they help with paying the bills, and in extreme times have helped with mortgage payments as well.
