Ministry Description |
We are looking for a spiritual leader who will share in our church life. Since Covid, our former settled pastor retired and we have been relying on pulpit supply. We are a vibrant, small, active church that has experienced what many Congregational churches have been through – moving from a large congregation with families to our current status as only a handful of children, adults mostly in their 60’s and 70’s. We operate a food pantry that currently serves 70-100 families per month. We have a group of faithful regular Sunday worship attendees. We hold a number of community dinners each year, a Super Bowl grinder sale, and a Mardi Gras pancake supper as well as two major fundraising events – an annual Antiques and Collectibles Show that has been running for nearly 60 years in the spring and a Craft Fair in the fall. We also sponsor a “Mall In The Hall” vendor fair in November/December. We provide food baskets at Thanksgiving and Christmas to families in need in the Greater Manchester community and also Christmas gifts to go with the Christmas food baskets. We provide Christmas gifts to several residential living facilities for nearly 100 residents and participate in many of the UCC outreach programs. Many of our members are active participants in the Rebuilding Together program (formerly Christmas in April). All of our able members participate in one way or another at our events. We are a small but MIGHTY group! In the last decade we have become a happier congregation, as we came to recognize who we have become, a mission-focused community, who love and respect each other even with our individual bumps and bruises and are able to forgive each other even when we disagree. |
