COMMUNITY MINISTRIES
Calvary’s vision is to feed our neighbors physically, emotionally and spiritually. The following programs are part of that commitment:

Partnership with Our Place Waldorf
Through our partnership with Our Place Waldorf, we provide meals to those in need Friday and Sunday evenings.

You can volunteer to provide food or serve atone of these meals through Our Place Waldorf’s volunteer page.

ID Ministry
We are excitedly working to launch a new ID ministry near the start of 2020 to help those in need in our community secure important identification documents including birth certificates, social security cards and state identification cards. We are fortunate to be able to learn from and model our program on a very successful one in Washington D.C., operated by our sister congregation Foundry United Methodist Church.

To learn more about the need for and importance of such a ministry, check this 2017 article in the Washington Post describing Foundry’s ID ministry.

Calling on Christ Church to Make Thanksgiving Dinner Special for 30 Families

It’s time to help feed families at Thanksgiving, but with important changes due to the pandemic. FISH of Howard County is counting on Christ Church once again to provide the menu items for turkey or roast chicken dinners for 30 households. This year we’ll order the frozen poultry directly from suppliers; for non-perishables, one collection bin will be set up outside. For those who want to participate but remain totally hands off, you can donate toward the costs.


Here’s what you need to know:

▪The Thanksgiving Dinner Drive begins at 10 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 8 and ends at noon on Sunday, Nov. 22. Those who attend worship services during that time period will find a bin in the narthex where you can drop off items on Nov. 8, Nov. 15, and Nov. 22 from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.


▪Those who wish to drop off items in the outdoor bin may do so curbside, near the entrance to the Parish Hall. You should not need to enter the building unless you encounter a problem with the bin, such as an overflow of items.


▪Needed non-perishables include: boxes of stuffing; jars or cartons of gravy; instant or fresh potatoes; canned or fresh yams; canned vegetables such as peas, carrots, green beans; applesauce; canned fruits such as peaches, pears, fruit cocktail; jars of pickles and olives; cans of cranberry sauce.

▪You are invited to bring dessert items, but, given their perishable nature, please do so only on the final collection day, Sunday, Nov. 22 until noon. Needed desserts include pies, pound cake, cookies, donuts, and brownies.


▪If you wish to donate toward the cost of the dinners, please designate Outreach/turkey dinner online in Realm, put a check in the Offering, or mail a check to the office with Outreach/turkey dinner in the memo line. We anticipate the cost of a frozen turkey to be approximately $20. The cost of side dishes for one family’s meal is about $26.00.


If we need particular items or have an oversupply of others, we will update everyone in the Gatherings email on Thursday, Nov. 19th.


Once again, Shahra and George Toth of the Outreach Commission are leading the drive, but if you have questions, email us at outreach@christchurchcolumbia.com. The goods will be assembled at the FISH pantry by its volunteers, who also handle deliveries to the families. Thanks to everyone for considering a donation of food or funds to help make this a special Thanksgiving holiday for our neighbors in need.

Springfield Hospital Christmas Gifts

We will once again be collecting Christmas gifts for our friends at Springfield Hospital.

If you would like to contribute, we have placed a large container in the Tower Room to accept your unwrapped donations, before December 14th. If that’s inconvenient, please contact Cathy Gold and we will find a way. heycathy@verizon.net or (410) 440-4178.

The group is looking for warm hats for men, 2021 calendars, and copies of the following magazines: Time; People; Sports Illustrated; National Geographic.

Samaritan Ministry
For many years Our Saviour has been a partner congregation of Samaritan Ministry, a faith-based consortium with 5 offices in the local DC metro area, providing one-on-one coaching for people who living on the edge of poverty and homelessness. Since November 2015 Our Saviour has been hosting the Silver Spring satellite office of Samaritan Ministry, open every Tuesday and Thursday from 9-1. Samaritan’s caseworkers and volunteers work with our participants to help them to set manageable goals and take next steps toward getting their lives back on track. They provide help with resume writing, one-on-one computer mentoring, job readiness coaching and financial management, and we serve anyone who is ready to take “next steps,” regardless of income or place of residence. The congregation of Our Saviour supports Samaritan Ministry participants and staff both by providing space, volunteers and office facilities and through direct services including our food pantry and Thursday soup/sandwich ministry. Members of Our Saviour have also participated in Samaritan Ministry’s community walks and events to raise awareness of homelessness and poverty in our area and by supporting toiletry and toy drives and fundraisers for the work of Samaritan Ministry throughout the DC metropolitan area. At the annual gala in November 2019, Our Saviour was recognized by Samaritan Ministry as the year’s Outstanding Partner Church.

Soup to Go
Launched in November of 2015, the Soup to Go Ministry, which is also called “Sandwiches to Go” during the warmer months, was the brainchild of Ms. Olivette Guy-Williams. She, along with three volunteers – Victor Valatoro, Norman Nicolson and Jacqueline Skerritt – decided to meet every Thursday morning to prepare hot meals for the homeless people in the vicinity of the church. Initially, the effort was quite modest, serving a total of six (6) meals that were delivered to the patrons by foot, meeting them in places like their “homes” under the capital beltway. Learn more…

Food Pantry
The Food Pantry is another community outreach programme at COS. Congregants pick-up extra items as they do their grocery shopping, to stock the shelves at the food pantry. These item are made available, free of cost, to anyone in need who walks in. Patrons are allowed two items from each specialized shelf — vegetables; meats; cereal; juices, etc — no questions asked.

Community Partnerships
The COS partners with various community groups and organizations whose programmes are consistent with our policies and our values as Christians. Two such organizations are the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and the Overeaters Anonymous (OA) here in Silver Spring, Maryland. These groups meet at our facilities five days and one day per week respectively.

Additionally, we support the activities of the Colesville Council of Community Congregations (C-4), particularly with regard to their annual Christmas toy drive.

We also partner with the African and Caribbean Immigration and Social Services Inc. (ACISS, Inc.) which offers counsel to immigrants. This professional service on immigrant affairs and social services can be had by visiting the church office during regular business hours from Tuesday through Friday.

Annual Projects:
Operation Backpack – every summer we provide backpacks and school supplies for under-resourced children at Westover ES, where we used to meet. This year we added backpacks for Kennedy HS, too, since we meet there now.

Every fall we assemble shoebox gifts for needy children around the world.

Local Outreach
What Do We Do?

All Souls Congregational Church is proud to be constantly serving our local community. We are at the Dorothy Day Soup Kitchen serving meals to the homeless two times each month and we serve a monthly meal at the Greater Bangor Area Shelter; we host the Community Café of the Meals for ME program on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays throughout the year.

​

We joined with 8 other churches in the Bangor Area in 2013 to launch the Greater Bangor Street Pastor Initiative which sends teams out onto the downtown streets every Friday night to be in conversation with the people they encounter, helping them out in small ways if they can. All Souls has several members taking part as street pastors and as prayer pastors supporting these efforts. This program began in the United Kingdom and we are only the second Street Pastors Initiative in the United States.



We are a covenant partner with Habitat for Humanity, meaning that we send people, money, and prayers for each project.



Want to Get Involved?

Just give us a call at 207-942-7354 to inquire about the next service event. Also, keep checking our community calendar. We often have opportunities for volunteers of all ages, and you don't need to be a member of our congregation to join us in service!



In 8th-12th Grade?

Check out Assist-JC for fulfilling service trips both domestically and internationally!

In response to a lack of places for the homeless and those in need to find food and fellowship CSBC started a Sunday meal program in 2009. Five other churches have joined with us in providing meals on Sundays at noon in our church vestry. All are welcome, and many come for more than a meal - for fellowship and a place to bring prayer needs.

It is our pleasure as part of the Christian Community to offer food in Jesus' name. Usually there are between 60 and 80 who come each Sunday - we serve around 5,000 meals a year. We can always use helpers and supplies, just stop by.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD



What is Operation Christmas Child?



Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international relief organization. Our mission is to provide local partners around the world with shoe boxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies as a means of reaching out to children in their own communities with the Good News of Jesus Christ. We ship these simple gifts outside the United States to children affected by war, poverty, natural disaster, famine, and disease; and to children living on Native American reservations in the U.S.



OUR VISION for 2020:

Our church is praying for the OCC children year round.



OUR CHALLENGE:

Please prayerfully pack a shoe box one per month this year. We will bring your completed boxes to the front of the church.



OUR GOAL:

200 BOXES



We packed 189 boxes in 2019.



We would love to have you get involved. For more information please contact us at: occ@dcccc.org

Through our partnership with the Maryland Food Bank, we can purchase food at a very low cost and provide a variety of items to our clients. We also regularly participate in the MD Food Bank’s produce drop program.21105477_1510844598954817_2857759117128374130_n
