Monthly Community Meals
Our Church has been the proud host of monthly Community Meals since August of 2023. These events take place at the church (mostly!) on the 4th Sunday of the month. These dinners are free and open to all. The dinners begin around 5:30 pm and feature an option of items for various food needs. All ages are welcome.
OCTOBER MISSION OF THE MONTH: BRIAR PATCH
We have a NEW Mission of the Month each month.
Your donations this month can help many homeless and runaway youth in Dane County.
Briar Patch is celebrating 50 years of service. It is estimated that 300 youth are homeless each night; this shelter on Rimrock Rd. has 8 beds and welcomes all gender identities ages 12-17. They also offer individual counseling, family counseling, and a 24-hour helpline.
Street Outreach Program utilizes a paid staff and trained volunteers to contact youth living on the streets and connect them with resources to keep them safe and healthy. Every year this program reaches more than 3,000 youth giving out personal care products, food, drink, and information items.
Teens Like Us Program (TLU) started 20 years ago and supports LGBTQIA teens ages 13-18. It provides a safe place for lesbian, gay, and transgender youth to gather with their peers.
Thank you very much for giving to this dire need in our community by marking your envelope Briar Patch.

Care Boxes are filled with healthy foods, and are being distributed to those struggling with hunger through our partner agencies and our mobile pantries throughout our 16 county service area. An average of 2,600 boxes are being distributed per day! We need volunteer support to assist in packing these boxes.
We are committed to keeping our staff and volunteers safe by limiting the number of volunteers during shifts as well as adding new measures to maintain a clean and healthy environment.
