Providing Water to the Thirsty

Reaching Out to Our Neighbors in Haiti
Our church is a longtime supporter of the Haitian Health Foundation, a Norwich-based organization dedicated to providing health and development programs in Jeremie and in rural mountainside villages. In May, we will host an Arts Festival, with proceeds dedicated to HHF. We also assist periodically with loading food and supplies for shipment to Haiti.
Sharing the Joy of Christmas
Through Windham Area Interfaith Ministry’s Adopt a Family program, we join together to provide and deliver Christmas gifts and decorations to a local family in crisis.
And Christmas caroling together at a local nursing home/rehabilitation center lets us bring holiday cheer to others as we celebrate Jesus’ birth.
Helping a Child in Need
The children in our Sunday School program sponsor Francisco B. Da Silva Netto, a 12 year old boy from Brazil through World Vision.
Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
-- Matthew 25: 37-40
