MISSION & OUTREACH
2019's Christmas Bazaar, which funds much of our Mission & Outreach efforts .... ("We'll be BACK!")
The Mission and Outreach Commission seeks to be responsible for leading the parish in making the reconciling love of Christ known to those beyond the walls of St. Andrew’s in our community, the diocese, and the world through the gifts of our time, talents, and resources. Its work includes providing for the regular delivery of groceries to the Deanery food pantry, fund-raising projects for Church World Service, and the creative distribution of St. Andrew’s missions’ monies, including to Episcopal Relief and Development, to the Bishop’s Fund for Children (Diocese of Connecticut), to Greenwoods Counseling Services, and to many other regional agencies. Christopher Rehkow is the Chair.
On the fifth Sundays of the months that have them, volunteers from the parish travel to the soup kitchen at Trinity Church in Torrington in order to serve the midday meal and to spend time with those who rely on the soup kitchen. Jane Hanley coordinates this ministry.
