The needs of people near and far need to be embraced, encouraged, empowered by Jesus’ love. UCC Medfield is responding by seeing each person through God’s eyes and serving each person as Jesus’ hands. We are deepening our support to our local community and commitment to serve the most vulnerable throughout the world. Here are some opportunities where you can be involved!
Cradles to CrayonsLooking for a fun service project that you can do at home? Since 2008, UCCM has been packaging socks and underwear for Cradles to Crayons that are included in clothing packs for children in the greater Boston area. Pick up a take-home bag which includes detailed instructions and all the materials needed in the Cradles to Crayons room found at Mission Central (outside of Fellowship Hall). Contact Susan to add your name to our email distribution list and you will be notified when new take home bags are available for pickup.
