We believe that our God calls us to reach
out to the community and share the love of
Christ. We do this in many different ways.
CROP Walk for World Hunger
Many of our members have walked or sponsored
walkers for the last twenty years. We have also
served as a rest station for those who pass our church
during the walk. Co-ordinated by Church World Service
and the local clergy association, this walk-a-thon raised
money to provide food for those in need. 25% of the
profit comes right back to Norwich to assist the
Clergy Food Pantry and St. Vincent De Paul Soup
Kitchen.
Interfaith Luncheon
In 2006 we began serving a community luncheon to the
less fortunate in the city of Norwich. On the third
Sunday of each month we cook and serve lunch to about
seventy people as they make their way up to the hall at
St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church.
This is part of a wider community ministry in which
five churches take turns providing the meal. On the
first week of the month the meal is served by the
folks at St. Marks. On the second Sunday the meal is
served at the Salvation Army Building on Main Street.
On the last Sunday of the month the meal is served at
the Unitarian Church. When there is a fifth Sunday,
the United Congregational Church jumps in and serves
lunch on the fourth week.
Cynthia Strouse serves as our co-ordinator and each
month she enlists volunteers to serve. If you would
like to jump on board and help, give the church a call.
It is a very rewarding experience.
Connecticut AIDS Bike Tour
In the past we also have provided a rest stop and
overnight lodging for members of the AIDS
Awareness movement as bicyclists rode across the
state raising money to help minister to individuals and
families living with AIDS.
