A Message from Missions

Missions had to eliminate one of the communion offerings due to their charity rating falling below an acceptable level. Because of this, and the fact that the summer are light months, the communion offering for July and August will both be for Interfaith Network of Care.

The mission of the Interfaith Network of Care (INC) is to give personal and social support to people coping with chronic conditions, disabilities, isolation, and other age related disabilities and to help those responsible for their day-to-day well being. Trained volunteer caregivers, agencies, and the community-at-large encourage people to continue to live independent, meaningful lives in their own homes. Some services provided are:

Transportation to non-emergency medical appointments in the local area
Friendly visits - A visit with a home bound person can make a wonderful difference in his/her life knowing that someone cares enough to help.
Respite care - Once a week we are able to give care givers a 5 hour break. We provide a catered meal, fun, activities, a social hour, music, etc.
INC serves in the communities of: East Brunswick, Helmetta, Old Bridge, South River, Spotswood, New Brunswick, Highland Park, Edison, Metuchen, Parlin and Milltown.

Missions and the Sunday school will be collecting school supplies the first 3 weeks of August. Items needed: single subject spiral notebooks, 24 pack Crayola crayons, #2 pencils, boxes of colored pencils, packs of assorted colored construction paper, 2 pock-et folders, Bic pens and Elmer’s glue sticks. Small bottles of hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes are also needed. Items will be used for school and after school activities.

Thank you in advance for your generosity.

Enjoy your summer and have a great 4th of July!
