LOCAL SERVICE

We're extremely active in our local community at Messiah, whether it be through serving right here in Rotterdam or the wider Schenectady area. During the summer months, we regularly volunteer to serve lunches to school children in partnership with Schenectady Inner City Ministry (SICM). Our women's group (WELCA) recently spent an evening constructing reusable shopping bags for use in SICM's food pantry. On top of collecting food and other supplies for City Mission of Schenectady, we began a new program last year by raising funds to supply a needy family in our community with Christmas presents.

Most notably, after months of hard work and planning, last year we launched the Bread of Life Food Pantry to serve needy families with children in the Rotterdam area. If you like to assist in this new important ministry of our Spirit filled congregation, please speak with Social Action Committee Chair Judy Becker.
