Help Others, Get Involved, Get Connected Through Outreach!

The Presbyterian Church in Morristown is a Church family that is engaged. We help people in Morristown, nationally and internationally. And we offer a wide range of mission activities for children, youth, adults and families. Our goal is to help those in need through our involvement. If you are already active in mission, or are looking to re-connect - we want you to join us!

On Sundays in April and May, 2012, we will highlight events in which you can participate now - by bringing food, walking for AIDS, or traveling to help where the need is great. Your participation is the key to improving the lives of people in need.

• May Food Drive~ May 6 ~With the arrival of spring, the Interfaith Food Pantry starts preparing for summer when its clients’ demands remain, but its donations drop off. In an effort to help the Pantry start the summer with well-stocked shelves, we will hold our annual May Food Drive on Sunday, May 6. Donated items may be brought to church on that Sunday or put in the bins at the Parish House the week before. Of course, the bins are there all year to welcome your regular donations.

• AIDS Walk, Morristown ~ May 6 ~ Join The Presbyterian Church in Morristown and hundreds of walkers in making AIDS History in the Garden State! Organizations from every region of the state of New Jersey have joined together to unify efforts and produce a single state-wide event, the New Jersey AIDS Walk! On this day, in seven locations across NJ, at exactly the same time of day, thousands upon thousands of people will walk in solidarity to support of people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. With more than 35,000 people currently living with HIV/AIDS in New Jersey, we have never needed the community’s support more. 

Join us in fighting this pandemic by supporting the thousands of people with HIV/AIDS in the Garden State by walking with PCM for the 2012 New Jersey AIDS Walk.  The walk steps off from the Green at 1 pm.  All are welcome to join us!

Please sign up at the Outreach table in the back of the Narthex of the Church on the Green every Sunday in April to walk, or donate to support our team!!

You can also register to walk with the PCM team and/or donate.  Just click on "Join Team".

• Katrina Trip~ May 6-12 ~ All are welcome to join the 14th trip to the Gulf area or pray for those on the work project. 

Since Hurricane Katrina, our church has sponsored mission trips with teams of up to 25 people twice a year for two weeks at a time to the Gulf to help with hurricane relief. Teams are composed of both members and nonmembers of our church.  Through April 2010, our church sponsored ten trips to aid homes in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.  In November 2010, our mission teams headed for a new location, New Orleans, to rehabilitate homes in the Lower Ninth Ward of St. Bernard Parish and returned there in November of 2011.

• Joplin Trip ~ May 27-June 2 ~ Please join the 2nd trip to help the victims of the May 2011 tornado devastation in Joplin, Missouri.  This follow-up trip is planned to do Clean-up Stage Two:  the rebuilding of homes.  We will work through Presbyterian Disaster Assistance with housing provided by the First Presbyterian Church in Joplin. There will be many ways to serve - any and all skills are appreciated and the people of Joplin are very welcoming and grateful for our service
