Outreach Committee Activities

The Outreach Committee oversees our church’s financial support of local, national and international projects and programs. We seek to inspire the congregation by raising awareness and providing opportunities to serve those in need. We are guided by the vision to love and worship God and to love and serve others as Spirit-filled disciples of Jesus Christ.

Our Children’s Clothing Project provides many children with much needed clothing at no cost to them. This is held at the church on the 2^nd and 4^th Saturday, from 10:00 to 12:00, from September through May.

Each year, the Committee represents our church, along with four other Falmouth congregations in sponsoring an Alternative Gift Market. This affords our community a chance to learn about and support both local and international humanitarian and environmental causes.

The Committee is in charge of special collections for One Great Hour of Sharing, Church World Service's BLANKETS+ program and Neighbors in Need. Also, on designated Sundays, we coordinate the Food Drive and Toy Collection for the Falmouth Service Center. We man a table on Rally Day and also assist with the Housing Assistance Corp.’s “Walk to End Homelessness”. On Outreach Sunday, representatives of the organizations our church supports are invited to attend the service and afterwards, to speak with members of the congregation regarding their work.

Our food certificate program, which is conducted both before and after the church service every Sunday, continues to be a valuable way to provide additional funds for Outreach distribution. The Church receives 5% of the face value of each card, at no additional cost to the consumer, to help support our charities.
