In thankfulness for God's love, we seek to serve Christ in the community and world by responding to issues of justice, peace, hunger, and poverty.

The Mt. Hope neighborhood of Providence's East Side in which we are situated is one of great social and economic diversity and provides us with many opportunities for outreach.

Each Sunday, we include in our morning offerings gifts of nonperishable food items. These food offerings are contributed to the Camp Street Ministries located 4 blocks from our church. On the 3rd Saturday of each month, a crew from PPC works at the Camp Street Food Pantry, showing God's love to those in need.

A number of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous groups meet at various times in our basement.

Over 10% of our budget goes to mission projects through Presbytery, Synod, and General Assembly offices. We take up special offerings during the year, such as the One Great Hour of Sharing during Lent. At Christmas, we provide an Alternative Giving Program, whereby you can honor your friends and relatives with gifts to various mission programs, both local and worldwide.

One of our members, Nancy Collins, is in Egypt assisting the Church in obtaining grants for projects there.

Each Advent Christmas season the church offers an Alternative Giving Market opportunity for members and friends to support a variety of local and global mission projects as an alternative to traditional material giving of gifts. Members "purchase" an item in need by an area mission and monies are forwarded to that mission with a card provided to give to the gift recipient explaining the nature of the mission and gift provided. To purchase an Alternative Gift, join us in worship the Sundays in December at 10 am for gift fair following--or contact Echo Duckett for gift information: echofromohio@gmail.com

The 2008 Alternative Giving missions are here.
