Meals on Wheels

CBPC Meals on Wheels prepares and delivers approximately 30 meals to people on the island and across the bridge. We usually prepare this meal on the second Saturday of each month. Experienced volunteers help orient new ones and they also facilitate the involvement of Scouts, Sunday School classes, and the youth group who help from time to time.

It’s easy to help: You can help assemble the meals, or provide a side dish, share some homemade or deli-made bread, serve as a driver to deliver the meals, etc.

Please contact the church office or speak with our Meals on Wheels coordinator Larry Bell.

Warming Ministry and Baby Caps

The Warming Ministry will start meeting again this fall. They usually meet October through April on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month 11:15 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. for lunch, fellowship, and preparing prayer shawls, lap blankets, baby caps and other items to present to those people in our congregation or surrounding community who may need encouragement, healing, or warmth. The Warming Ministry also made the beautiful blankets that are in the sanctuary for people to use during worship. Supplies and instructions for knitting, crocheting, sewing are provided. The group meets at the church in the Sun Room (the classroom closest to the back parking lot on the education hallway, across from the kitchen) and all are welcome! Contact the church office for more information.

Food Drives for the Help Center of Federal Point

We hold canned and dry good food drives in the fall and spring of the year. Some attendees bring them by the church during the week, but most are collected in worship each Sunday for a month. After the children’s sermon, the children in attendance at worship help gather the food items from those who have brought them, and we place them around the communion table. After worship the items are counted and volunteers deliver them to the Help Center during the following week to be distributed to individuals and families in need. Throughout the year there is a running announcement in the bulletin and newsletter that publicizes the items the Help Center needs at that time and many members and friends of the congregation respond with donations all year long.
