Salem United Church of Christ

Outreach & Service

Blanket Sunday
January 28th, we will have our Blanket Sunday mission offering. You will find an envelope at church or in the bulletin on Jan. 21st and the 28th so you can give to this important mission. Blankets+ means that Church World Service is there for the long haul as people recover from a disaster. It also means they provide support to families struggling against grinding poverty as they seek to develop viable, sustainable livelihoods – wells, livestock, micro credit, and health training. Blankets + also means you, because without you and our congregation, World service could not do this work. Our gifts provide the means to transform lives and communities during difficult times. Please consider a gift this year for Blanket Sunday. It may change your life, and it will definitely change the life of those who have no hope without Church World Service.

Souper Bowl Sunday
On Sunday Feb. 4 the young people and confirmation class will be holding a mission project. Following worship everyone will be invited to join in a time of fellowship and lunch. The lunch will be soup and cracker. Seventy five percent of the world’s population only have one meal a day consisting of broth and a few morsels of crackers. We are asking everyone to think of the hungry and join in a lunch of soup and then afterwards give what you would have spent on going out to eat to the hungry. Please joins for this important outreach.
