COMMUNITY OUTREACH
OF TCC
Prayer Shawl Ministry
During the last decade, this ministry has distributed nearly 500 hand knitted shawls, baptismal blankets and lap robes to comfort families dealing with difficult situations or celebrating baptisms.
Neighbors Helping Neighbors
This program was established to help those within and around our community, and includes home visitations, taking people to doctors’ visits and supplying meals to those in need.
A neighbor to our church is a halfway house for men fighting addiction. Items are collected for those who often enter the program with only the items on their backs. We welcome all to our Sunday worship and many have become involved in the life and ministry of our church.
Employment Support Group
This group meets every other week offering people looking for work or looking to transition to a new career the opportunity to develop a resume and strengthen their interviewing skills.
The townwide Norton food pantry was established by TCC over 15 years ago and is now supported by our church as well as other local organizations.
Community Classes/Programs
Early Head Start, AA, Girl Scouts, Norton Play group and Zumba have weekly access to our building for their meetings.
Personal Best Charity
This local charity has been supported by our youth in a walkathon and through our financial support. For the past several years, young and old have helped deliver turkeys and food baskets to those in need for Thanksgiving.
Ongoing Financial Support for:
Seventy years ago TCC was a founding member of this organization. We are blessed to have a vibrant and generous congregation that continues to support all of the AAIC outreach efforts financially and through volunteer activities.
- • Food 'n Friends: Every other month, members of our church organize and prepare a meal which is served to the homeless in the area. At Christmas each of the guests is given a gift bag with a candy cane and a gift card to a local establishment.
- • Clothing Donation: On an ongoing basis we collect gently used clothing that is distributed through St. Vincent de Paul, free of charge, to persons in need.
- • Helping the Homeless: This year we began a new program to help the homeless. Needed supplies are gathered, put into gallon plastic bags and delivered to AAIC for distribution. To date, we have delivered over 150 bags and we will continue this ministry as we move forward.
- • Kids Café: Kid’s café offers free lunches daily through the summer months while kids are not in school. The kids in VBS have collected food items and the church has supported this program financially.
