Working with New Bedford schools we provide much-needed assistance in tutoring and classroom help. We also work with the local food bank and other regional service organizations to help those in need.
We love mission work! We sent two teams to help hurricane recovery in New Orleans and in July of 2018 we headed back again for a second time to The Craddock Center in Cherry Log, GA. There we offered our time and talents with Camp Craddock, a summer camp that delivers summer enrichment to children at greatest risk of summer reading loss in Southern Appalachia.
In addition, our church is home to several support groups, including AA and Alanon, as well as several Scouting organizations.
Our Missions Committee is always hard at work
