“I tell you the truth,
whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for
me.” -Matthew 25:40
Our social
"committee" ministry helps our friends and members reach out to our
community in physical ways with Christ’s love.
We periodically
have collections of items needed by area charities.

The New London Community Meal Center was
established in 1985 in the New London area. It was created to respond to
the needs of New London's most vulnerable residents by providing
nutritious meals in a kind, hospitable and clean environment.
The organization currently provides lunch five days a
week and dinner six days a week, including Saturday dinner served by a
downtown New London church.
(We have teams
that serve at the New London Community Meal Center on the 2nd Tuesday of every
month from 4 pm to 6:30 pm.)
The New London Community Meal Center served 73,518 meals
to 35,000 in one fiscal year.
