What We Do

Building Use as Community Outreach

Historically, building use in support of community need has been part of our outreach. The church was designed for a library under the belfry. With no library in Ludlow, we housed the free public library for its first 11 years.  Currently, our community building outreach includes: Black River Good Neighbor Services meetings, Ludlow Area Community Garden meetings,WIC (Women, Infants and Children federal program), Mountain Side House staff training, Ludlow Garden Club meetings.

Financial Outreach

We have a tradition of supporting local, national, and world financial outreach. Decisions are made by a small Outreach Committee chaired by a deacon. Recent community outreach has gone to Black River Good Neighbor Services, Visiting Nurses and Hospice, repair of Irene damaged ball fields in Ludlow and Proctorsville, … National outreach has gone to One Great Hour of Sharing, Hurricane Sandy relief through UCC, UCC Soldiers of the Cross (retired pastors), [UCC national fund-name escapes me]…. International outreach has gone to: disaster relief (Tsunami and Haiti), Kiva loans in Africa, Central and South America.
