Our Ministries
Deacon’s Fund
This fund is managed by the Deacons to help those in the community experiencing difficult times. By donating to the United Church of Strafford’s Deacons Fund, the Deacons are able, in complete confidentiality and with care, to assist those in our community who find themselves in a tight spot.
Music and the Arts
We are blessed with a rich history of music and a choir that loves to sing from a variety of traditions. Thanks in part to the Manheim Fund for the Sacred Arts and the generous sharing of pianist Annemieke McLane’s talents and endless enthusiasm we host a number of concerts and opportunities for singing and performing in our sanctuary.
Mission Committee
We have an active Mission Committee that exists to distribute church- designated funds to groups and organizations that directly provide relief and support to people in distress. In addition, the committee strives to engage the congregation in mission projects. The committee looks at projects on local, regional, national and global levels and is grateful for new ideas.
Children and Youth
As you enter the church, you will see there is a Children’s Nook! This space has been created to encourage children and families to remain in the sanctuary throughout worship. This desire for intergenerational worship may include more noise and more children’s voices, even during the times of silent reflection. We ask that we all find grace in our hearts and in our minds as we welcome children in our worship.
