HOW WE GIVE OUR TIME AND TALENT
Christian life calls us into the world to serve with glad hearts. At the Congregational Church, we seek to serve our wider community through acts of giving and service knowing that it changes us and helps us to love those who god loves.
Channel One
Every second Friday of the month we work in the repack room of Channel One, the local food bank. We have fun while helping to fight hunger. All are welcome to participate. To sign up, access our Channel One volunteer portal here.
Partner Kids
Our church provides the opportunity for adults to have a mentoring relationship with kids at a local elementary school who need a caring adult as well as some academic help. Volunteers meet weekly one-to-one with the student. When possible, the same volunteer meets with the student beginning in 2nd grade through 5th grade. New volunteers are recruited at the beginning of the school year, but are welcome to join the program mid-year.
Christmas Concert to benefit Channel One
Bells and Brass will get you into the spirit in December! Bring your food gifts and/or monetary gifts to help stock the shelves of Channel!
the landing
Twice monthly opportunities to pitch in and serve a meal prepared at The Landing for our unhoused neighbors.
Care Team
A team of trained volunteers serve as friendly visitors to people who could benefit from a little extra care and attention. This has included people who are homebound or those suffering with health concerns.
Worship and Communion At Senior Centers
Once a month a worship service is held at a senior center in Rochester. Members and friends are invited to participate. Check the church calendar for details.
