"Feed my Sheep"
All are welcome at free community dinner on the last Tuesday of each month. This is part of the new community outreach program “Feed My Sheep” at Point Place United Church of Christ. This program will provide a warm, nutritious, free meal to members of our local community enabling our neighbors who may be experiencing financial difficulty as many of us are to feed themselves and their family once a month.

"5 for 5" Church in the UCC
- Our church participates as a "5 for 5" Church in the UCC. This means we have made the commitment over the course of a year to promote and support the following causes: Our Church's Wider Mission - both Basic Support and Special Support, including the four mission offerings (One Great Hour of Sharing, Strengthen the Church, Neighbors in Need, and the Christmas Fund). These missions have helped to show the ways in which our gifts are being used beyond the local church.
