  There are plenty of opportunities to join us in serving those in our community.  Below are some of the ways we serve:
  • Each year, for one week in January, we open our church doors to the homeless in Hampton.  We provide them a nutritious dinner, a place to sleep, and a hot breakfast. We typically serve between 80 and 100 people each night.  Our last week was from January 9 - 16, 2010.  You may sign-up on-line or in the Commons. 
  • On the second Saturday of each month, we prepare bag lunches for the homeless in Hampton.
  • We support the Habitat for Humanity program on the Peninsula with financial support and with our time and talents.  In January, we finished building a home near the War Memorial baseball stadium in Hampton.  We will begin building another home in 2011.
  • Financially, we support the larger Presbyterian church with our unified mission giving. These funds support the Presbyterian missionaries, camps, seminaries, and other programs.  We also provide support for several local organizations, such as the Downtown Hampton Child Development Center and the Peninsula Pastoral Counseling Center.
  • We open our doors to local community efforts such as child wellness checks, Relay for Life, Boy Scout Troop 29, and provide space for Alcoholics Anonymous to meet.
  • On April 26, 2009 we had our first Faith@Work day.  We came to church dressed for work as we departed to our work sites immediately after church.  Our last Faith@Work day was on November 1, 2009.  Our next day will be on October 17, 2010.
