On Sat., 6/23 from 9– noon, you can support Mattapoisett Congregational Church’s Mission Trip and help a friend at the same time. Get all of that pollen washed off your car in the parking lot of the G.H. Dunn Insurance Agency, 64 Fairhaven Road in Mattapoisett.
The second week of July, fourteen members of our congregation, from 11 to 60+, will load up two SUVs and drive 1,100 miles to the Craddock Center in the Appalachian Mountains of northern GA. There we will serve a largely Guatemalan immigrant population, who make their living working in poultry processing plants.
The Craddock Center’s goal is to bring “Happy and Hope” to children in Southern Appalachia. During our week in Cherry Log, GA, we will serve as counselors for Camp Craddock, delivering songs, stories and crafts, thereby providing summer learning enrichment.
The car wash is our final fundraiser; however, we would be happy to accept additional donations. You may send a check, made payable to: Mattapoisett Congregational Church, PO Box 284, Mattapoisett, MA 02739
Mattapoisett Congregation Church, 27 Church Street, is a member of the United Church of Christ. We believe God calls us to live in joy, love, and service. In all we do, we welcome all who seek to know God, regardless of life circumstances. During the summer months, we meet in Reynard Fellowship Hall at 9:00 am for a more casual service. Bring a cup of coffee and a friend…all are welcome!
