Missions and Social Justice Ministry
"What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness
and to walk humbly with your God." -Micah 6:8
We believe that God is at work beyond the church as well as within it. As Christians, it is our responsibility to work for justice and peace for our neighbors as well as ourselves. We are committed to work for justice through awareness, education, understanding compassion, prayer and action. World peace becomes possible when we focus on and grow in peace within ourselves, our families, our church, our community, our country and our world.
Chatham Ecumenical Council for the Homeless (CECH) - Purchase Stop & Shop Gift Cards- CECH helps prevent homelessness by providing financial assistance to families in need due to job loss, health or other family related crisis. We participate with Stop & Shop purchasing of gift cards, of which they donate 5% of proceeds to CECH. It's a great way to help the homeless with no cost to you! Please participate. You can buy gift cards at Fellowship hour after worship on Sunday.
