Looking to BE the church?

Below you will find many ways that you can be involved in Hedding’s ministries:

Diaper Depot

Since May 2023, we have collected and distributed thousands of diapers. Families come to the church and, with no questions asked, receive a package of diapers and some wipes. We are always in need of more. Diapers of all sizes, pull-ups, and wipes go out the door about as quickly as they arrive! Help us sort and hand out diapers!

 

Food Shelf

Open three afternoons a week, our food shelf serves dozens of people weekly. We are always in need of non-perishables, fresh produce, toiletries, pet food, and more. We’re looking for a few new volunteers to guide guests through!

 

Friday Night Community Dinner

Great food! Great music! Great community! Fridays at 5:30 PM (doors open at 4:30) dinner is served and live music keeps the community singing, clapping, and generally enjoying the time we spend together! Volunteers in the kitchen have as much fun as the guests!

Eat with us! Greet and get to know guests! Join the ad hoc band that gathers each week! Help cook! Help serve! Get involved! Talk with Phyllis about being a part of the kitchen crew! Talk to Patt about helping with children and youth engagement! Just show up to help build community or play in the band!

July 2023 Flood Recovery

In 2023, when the floods ravaged Vermont on July 10th and 11th, our church stepped up to help. UMCOR delivered a tractor trailer full of flood buckets and arranged another tractor trailer full of water, food, and other supplies to come to our building. We also became a hub for other donations of fans, dehumidifiers, tools, boots, work gloves, cleaning supplies, clothing etc, etc, from all over the state and beyond. Our church building became a warehouse and our members stepped up to help day in and day out. We became really good at the bucket brigade, both into the building and then out again as we filled up personal trucks, vans, and cars to head to neighboring towns, many of which were cut off or overlooked by work crews. We lost count of how many local families and individuals we were able to help in those busy days. It was like being on a mission trip in our own backyard and we had fun doing it! The Hedding Family is all about DOING the work of the gospel! Every week at the end of worship we say together: We don’t GO to church – We ARE the church! And we mean it!
