Missions
Mission/Outreach Committee
We have a very active Mission/Outreach Committee which is constantly reviewing local, national and world-wide needs to determine areas we might support. They have a policy in place of generally applying one-third of our available funds in each of these three areas.
In addition, we stress that our members give whatever support is possible to all six church-wide Special Sundays as well as any emergency requests that are announced through the New England Conference.
Through our church school we run sales or lunch programs each year to support the Heifer Fund and Feed The Children.
Overnight of Hospitality
One night each month our church provides a meal, a night's shelter and a breakfast for up to six homeless men from the Salvation Army Shelter in Hyannis. We are one of many churches on Cape Cod which support this program because the shelter is not large enough to meet the demand.
CECH Gift Cards
The church sells "Gift Cards" for the Chatham Ecumenical Council for the Homeless. These are credit cards good at specific supermarket chains in the area which CECH purchases at a discount and resells at face value. The organization receives the discount amount to support their program and the people who purchase the cards receive full value for their dollar.
"An Ark of Animals"
The church conducted a campaign this past summer to raise $5,000 to purchase a gift 'Ark" of animals to be sent to those in need around the world. Some 15 types of animals will be provided and sent to the areas those particular animals are needed. The idea is that, when the animals have young, the family will donate them to other neighbors, thereby spreading the wealth. The campaign was a huge success, raising over $13,300.
The photo shows the ark and some of the animals placed on the lawn of the church to advertise
to the community our fund drive.
