Outreach
"I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me." Matthew 25:35-36, NRSV Service to others has been an integral role of the United Methodist Church since its very inception. Through our connectional giving programs, we are able to reach out to those in our community, our nation and the world. Our church also selects special projects to support. This year, we held a Help for Haiti campaign and sent 97 Health Kits and a generous monetary donation to the United Methodist Committee on Relief. Locally, our Sunday School sponsored a "Birthday Party Kits" project for the Berlin Food Pantry. This month, we will begin a food drive for the food pantry. Click here for photo.

LOCAL GIVINGOur local church provides Thanksgiving food baskets as well as Christmas gifts and food baskets to local families in need. We also provide support to the Berlin Food Pantry as well as other local organizations, such as The Friendship Service Center and the Prudence Crandall Center.
