Previous Events:
- Our congregation participated in a number of programs that directed Christmas gifts to the needy. Through the Christmas CONNECT program, sponsored by Long Branch-based Love INC, gifts were distributed to needy families in eastern Monmouth County. Our junior and senior high youths each donated a gift to a child they "adopted" from among a group selected by Red Bank Primary School counselors and social workers. And members contributed towards a gift for our refugee family.
- A portion of last fall's Pentecost Offering went to Manna House. Lunch Break and Mission Matawan were among the groups receiving budgeted local mission dollars this year.
