Outreach Board

 

The Outreach Board (OB) shares our congregation’s time, treasure and talents with the world outside the walls of our church. The Outreach Board seeks the active involvement of our church members in making the world better through the use of our time, our money and what we can do. We facilitate and raise awareness of the special offerings of our church’s dual affiliations: the UCC and DC.

 

In recent years we have co-sponsored refugee families, providing their immediate material needs and introducing them to the Buffalo area. We have held lunches, sold sub sandwiches, had bake sales and held a rummage sale – all to earn money to be able to co-sponsor a family. It takes the entire church to pull together all that a refugee family needs.

 

We continue to seek new ways to uphold our congregation’s and denominations’ commitments to doing God’s work on earth through spreading Jesus’ message of social justice and love. If you are looking for a way to make a difference in the church, in people’s lives, locally or far away, please consider joining the Outreach Board.
