SERVICE IN THE COMMUNITY

In gratitude to all that God gives us we respond by offering loving service. We are involved in:

Foodbank. The Milton Foodbank is run by the Combined Churches. Each parish has an appointed distributor.

Luncheon Fellowship.  A monthly noon meal is organized during the winter months.

Bible in Schools.  All schools in this area offer this programme. We provide some teachers.

Home visiting and caring.  If you would like a visit or to be a visitor contact the Vicar.

OCF Prison Ministry Otago Corrections Facility.    We offer ministry to prisoners’ families and OCF staff in our community, and visit OCF on occasions.

Social Justice Issues.    People in our fellowship are involved in community and wider issues, seeking justice and care.

Caring for the Environment.    An issue near to the heart of many parishioners.
