Pew Pads

A Reminder From The Fellowship/Membership Ministry

Please remember to sign your pew pads each and every Sunday. The pew pads are more important than many of us may may realize. In addition to providing the names of our neighbors sitting next to us, they also provide the Membership/Fellowship Ministry with information relative attendance patterns , requests for membership information, visits by the pastor or a ministry member etc. We thank you for your cooperation in this effort, which is a vitally important component to improved communications and becoming a more cohesive and defined church family as we approach the imminent search for our next settled pastor.

Help the Hungry - Sister Rose's Soup Kitchen

Our church needs people to volunteer to serve at Sister Rose’s Soup Kitchen one morning each month from 9:30a.m. – 12:30p.m. This program serves approximately 100-150 clients who depend on the daily lunch at the Pilgrim United Church in New Bedford. Outreach was given the responsibility for overseeing this program when the new Ministry structure was implemented three years ago. We have had an increasingly difficult time getting volunteers to signup. This is an obligation made by our entire church and more volunteers are needed. You can sign up as an individual or form a group to volunteer together. Those who have volunteered can attest to the sense of satisfaction that comes from serving those who rely upon this important program. The sign up sheet is located in the lower social hall. Please consider giving a morning of your time to a very appreciative group of hungry people.
