Opportunities to Help Others

Community Outreach

Through our benevolence fund, we support various community service agencies. In addition, we are actively involved in the following outreach programs:

Warming Center - volunteers staff this center for the homeless, which is hosted weekly by our church from November to April.
Shelter Dinners - volunteers from our church prepare and serve meals monthly to a local homeless shelter.
Tutoring - volunteers from our church provide educational assistance to students in elementary schools.
Meals at Home - volunteers from our church provide meals to homebound in the community.

Volunteering Within

First Congregational Church also has opportunities for involvement within the church. These include:

Church School - members of our church serve as church school teachers, and are given training and curriculum tools to assist them.
Pastoral Visitors - members of our church call upon home bound elderly in a program coordinated by the Church Life Team.
Kitchen Committee - this volunteer group helps to maintain our church kitchen by monitoring its use and assuring that it is kept clean.
Volunteer Work Groups - periodic work groups assist with garden maintenance and building maintenance projects, such as painting and spring cleaning.
Rummage Sale - volunteers run our annual rummage sale, which supports our benevolence programs.
Sunday Fellowship / Coffee Hour- volunteers are always needed to host this weekly tradition.
