We cook and serve the evening meal at at "Homeless Solutions," the facility for the homeless in Morris County, every first Thursday and every third Saturday of the odd months of the year.  Our next visits there will be July 1 and July 17 and then September 2 and September 18.

We regularly help make lunch for people who came to the Community Soup Kitchen in Morristown .  In February we served 167 there, and made many meat loaves for the meal.  Our next date is August 7.

In August of 2009 six of us went to NY City for a week for our Mission trip, and again, it was an amazing spiritual journey for those who participated.  This year we will be serving in Paterson from August 15 - 20.  We will be helping to lead a Vacation Bible School and assisting with feeding programs and other ministries.

We participate on the Long Valley CROP Walk each year.  This year it will be on Sunday October October 24.   With our fellow Long Valley churches we raise money for world hunger. 

Pedals for Progress - The past two springs we gathered bikes to be shipped to a third world country.
