Annual Events:
• In September at First Church we become very involved with our Annual Church Fair which involves almost everyone in our church. Our fair is sponsored by and held on the grounds of Redding's historical First Church Congregational Church, Redding Center, Connecticut. Our church faces the town green and will use this space also for setting up the varied craft booths.
• In mid-spring Outreach usually sponsors a group from our church to work on the AmeriCares Home Front Project at a location accessible from our church.
• On the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend the Men's Group sponsors the Memorial Day Parade Food Booth on the Redding Green. In just a few minutes at the end of the parade hundreds of hotdogs and cold drinks are sold.
• In mid-summer there usually is an extensive Outreach Mission Trip to help with the Boscobel Church in Jamaica or some other project.
• In late summer the Men's Group sponsors a 3 or 4-day food booth at the Annual Mark Twain Library Book Fair at the Senior Center.
• Prior to Thanksgiving, our youth groups participated in a Thanksgiving Basket Brigade which supplies food to needy individuals and families at a time that should be a joyful time for all--except for the very real hunger problems in our midst.
• Before Christmas, a group of our church members sponsors the Doves Project which enlists volunteers to buy and package inexpensive Christmas gifts for needy children and adults.
As-Needed Events:
• Car Washes to raise funds for projects of outreach.
• Emergency Relief Projects such as one we did for the Katrina Hurricane Disaster in New Orleans.
