Dover Members Lend a Helping Hand After Winter Storm Fern

Story by Dover First Church and Visitor Staff

Following Winter Storm Fern, which brought more snow to the area than residents had seen in the last 10 years, Pastor Javier Scharon and members of Chesapeake Conference’s Dover First church mobilized to serve their surrounding community. Together, they shoveled snow and ice to clear walkways to ensure neighbors could safely navigate to their homes and streets. 

“This moment reflects the heart of servant leadership and community engagement that Dover First strives to live out—demonstrating faith through action, and love through presence,” says Armina Domingue, Adventist Community Services leader of the church.
