Meals and Wheels
If you need a ride to church, please call the church office.  We will coordinate a ride, either with public transportation or a church member.  Also, if an emergency leaves you needing a meal for your family, please let us know.  We have volunteers whose ministry is providing a needed meal during a troubling time.  If you would like to join this list of on-call volunteers, please contact the church office. 

Lay Caregivers
Our pastors visit elderly and hospitalized parishioners regularly and are assisted by Lay Caregivers. These volunteers receive training and ongoing guidance from the pastors.  If you would like to learn more about being a Lay Caregiver, or if you know someone who might like the company of a Lay Caregiver, please speak to one of the ministers. You can contact our care coordinator Karis Slattery or the church office at 203-288-3381.

Give Food

Meals for Martha’s Place
A woman to woman initiative to provide a hot meal and warm hospitality for female shelter residents. You can prepare a meal and help serve if you like- or coordinate with a group of friends. We serve a meal every Wednesday evening at Martha’s Place women’s shelter. We companion about 20 very appreciative women who normally must cook for themselves with limited funds.
