Congregational Efforts
All of our congregations seek to serve the communities in which they are located. Some do so by providing meeting space for Scout troops, 12-step groups, and other community organizations. Others support social service agencies, like food pantries and after-school programs in their areas through donations of goods and money. Still others organize volunteers who visit nursing homes, mentor children, work on Habitat4Humanity houses and a myriad of other activities.
And then there are those that sponsor outreach ministries onsite at their locations:
Albion

Alden - St. Aidan's Church houses the Alden Food Pantry open every XXX
Attica - St. Luke's Church sponsors
Batavia
- St. James' Thrift Shop located downstairs at 405 E. Main St. is open to the public every Thursday from 9 am to 2 pm.
