HELP WITH THE MIDNIGHT RUN. Bring juice boxes, mini toiletries, new men's socks and underwear or a blanket to the Midnight Run. Volunteers from our church and other local community organizations go to New Haven on the third Monday of each month to hand our your donations of food and other items to the homeless. Everyone's help is needed for this worthy cause. Please help support this church mission project. Thank you.
Please remember that one of our ongoing missions is the once a month collection for the Fair Haven Ministry. Please bring a can or a non-perishable food item to church the first Sunday of each month and help fill the basket located in the Narthex.
