OUTREACH MINISTRY

The Outreach Ministry of our church is based on Jesus' teaching of compassionate service to others. This for us includes hosting a weekly Soup Kitchen (Wednesday evenings at 5 p.m.) through which we provide food and fellowship for people of the Patchogue Community.

Through our special offerings at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter, we support the national and worldwide ministries of Church World Service and other partners of the United Church of Christ. These offerings are supplemented by special mission projects in which we invite our members' participation.

The Congregational Church of Patchogue receives no federal, New York State, Town of Brookhaven, Suffolk County, or Village of Patchogue financial support for the soup kitchen. If you would like to support us, please click "Donate" today.

Let us not forget the core of what this is about: feeding hungry people. Jesus told all of us that we could find him whenever and wherever we feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit those in prison (including the prisons of addiction, poverty, loneliness, and greed).
