UCCT Youth Community Services

 

Youth Helping Neighbors

In an effort to help those in need in our own backyard as well as beyond, UCCT Youth Fellowship is entering into long-term relationships with two groups that will provide great opportunities for community service projects.  The first is Tri-County ARC which sponsors adult group homes right here in Tolland and in Coventry.  Over the next few months, we will be providing various services including small upkeep and repair projects, seasonal chores, holiday activities, and companionship.

The second organization is FoodShare.  FoodShare is the heart of greater Hartford’s fight against hunger.  They bring together individuals and organizations to create effective solutions to end hunger in all 42 towns of Hartford and Tolland counties.  Some of these activities will include food drives, fundraisers, and volunteering at events and in the FoodShare warehouse in Bloomfield.  One specific exciting opportunity for PFers is gleaning farmer’s fields in the fall.  FoodShare gets invited by farmers after the harvest to glean the remaining produce from their fields for their food bank.  UCCT PF has enlisted as one of their volunteer teams to join in the “post-harvest harvest!”

 

High School Ministries

All High School students are invited and encouraged to attend the worship service and communion the first Sunday of each month.  We have members of the congregation fill in as assistants for Sunday School in the absence of the High Schoolers.  Please contact Amie Giguere for more information.

 

Join the Joyful Voices

The Joyful Voices welcome anyone in grade 5 through high school. We rehearse almost every Sunday morning from 9:30 to 10:00 a.m., and frequently sing for a service. Our only requirements are that you enjoy singing and that you will be faithful at rehearsals.

For more information please contact Kathy Nivison (875-1583 or newgram@aol.com). We look forward to hearing from you!
