Mission Projects and Donations

Our mission work includes both monetary donations and "hands on" work..  We have contributed to Community Nurses, Neediest Family Fund, Child & Family Services, Providence Ronald McDonald House, Family Non-Violence, Market Ministries, InterChurch Council of Greater New Bedford and several others.  We have volunteered at Gifts to Give, worked on a Habitat for Humanity build in Wareham, served lunch monthly at Market Ministries Soup Kitchen, served breakfast bi-monthly for Loaves and Fishes, collected school supplies, sock and other necessities for those in need.  Through the Christian Children's Fund we continues sponsoring a child from Indonesia, Erwan.  

In addition, our capital campaign has an outreach component which includes a mission tithe of 10% of the monies raised during the capital campaign will be given to one or more specific mission projects to be determined.  This mission tithe recognizes that, as people of faith, we are in covenant with others outside of our church walls.

Our Food Pantry

The Action for Christ Committee maintains a pantry of non-perishable food items for those in the community in need of emergency food supplies.  It is available Tuesday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Heifer Project International

Our Church maintains strong ties to Heifer Project International. Each year through various projects and fundraisers, we donate significant funds to send animals and training to needy persons in the United States and the World. Each year our Confirmation Class donates a weekend of their time to Overlook Farm in Rutland, MA, home of the Northeast Region Headquarters and Training Center.

Our Handymen are available to take care of those pesky jobs that need doing around your house.  For a donation to the church you can 'hire' our first rate workers.

Our Sponsored Child

In 2008 we were introduced to our new sponsored child through Christian Children's Fund.  Erwan Ramadhani is 9 years old and is part of the Putro Linuwih program in Indonesia.  We look forward to watching Erwan grow and prosper with our support.

Write to Erwan via Christian Children's Fund, P.O. Box 1364, Jakarta  10013 Indonesia.

E-mails can be sent to sr132@ccfindonesia.org.  Messages will be printed and forwarded to the child.

Prayer Shawl Ministry

Prayer shawls are knitted or crocheted by fold from the church (either individually or in groups) and after being dedicated in worship are given to individuals during illness and recovery, times of loss and grief, or even in special times of joy.  A special written prayer accompanies the shawl when it is gifted. 

Patterns are available from the church office.  We are always in need of new shawls.
