We need your help. Volunteers are needed each Sunday to help set up the "Sanctuary" and to put away the chairs etc after worship has finished. As they say "Many hands make light work" - based on Exodus 18: 18-23

MINISTRY IN MOTION - 2010 TONS OF FOOD---“packing on the food for Jesus!”
FINAL RESULTS: 1,157.2 pounds! MCCNH participated along with other New Haven congregations collecting food for local food pantries. MORE THAN DOUBLE THE COLLECTION LAST YEAR!!
The food was given to the food pantry on the corner and the cash donation ($200) given to APNH (AIDS Project New Haven). A BIG THANK YOU to all those who participated! There will be many families that will not go hungry…because of you and the ‘fruits’ of this church collaboration.

CALLING ALL ANGELS As part of our outreach Ministry in Motion (MIM), our church is challenging each of us to go out into the community and make a difference. Can you give 10 hours of your time by the end of this year (this equates to 12½ minutes per week--we spend more time buying coffee!) to volunteer at a:
·         shelter
·         food kitchen
·         nursing home
·         animal shelter
·         food bank
·         school
·         any other volunteer activity – that might be your ‘passion’

Join us in giving a gift of caring and compassion. For, it is in the giving that we (all) receive.

If you ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE…simply email the church at: alm.mccnh@att.net. Let us know how you volunteered and the amount of time spent. Share how it touched you and others, as well.
