Outreach | Current Missions | Focus Issues
| On behalf of the First Congregational Church, the Outreach Commission provides support to organizations which serve those in need, both locally and around the world. Through the generous contribution of our church members’ funds and talents, the Outreach Commission is able to support many organizations and causes during the year. Included in our efforts are organizations that we have supported for a number of years, as well as new organizations responding to timely events. In order to facilitate church member outreach to a variety of causes, it was approved in November 2009 that the plate collection during the third Sunday “mission moment” highlighting the work of an organization supported by the church will be designated for the featured organization. |
