Missions
Feed
One
This year-long mission began in 2012 and
the goal was to collect 100,000 pennies to feed
hungry children around the world. To date we have
collected 90,000 pennies. To find out more about
this program, go to

Souper Bowl
Each year on Super Bowl Sunday, the
congregation and youth of the church collect cans of
food and money for the local food pantry, Lincs.
Scholarship
In June we give a $500 scholarship to a
Linden High School senior who has shown academic
improvement throughout their four years of high
school. The scholarship money may be used for
college or a trade school.
Relay for Life
The members of our congregation
participate in Relay for Life each June. The Relay
for Life is an over-night activity to celebrate
those who have survived cancer, remember those who
have lost their lives to cancer, and to raise money
for the fight against cancer.
Crop
Walk
Members of our congregation participate
in the CROP Hunger Walk sponsored by Church World
Services to raise funds to end hunger at home and
around the world.
Thanksgiving Baskets
Prior to Thanksgiving each year the
Deacons collect canned goods, turkeys with all the
trimmings and desserts. We fill approximately seven
baskets with everything necessary to make a complete
Thanksgiving dinner. The baskets are distributed to
local residents of Linden.
The Giving Tree, Christmas
During the Christmas season a Giving Tree
is set up in the sanctuary with the names of
children and their wishes for Christmas gifts. The
members of the congregation are eager to give these
children a magical Christmas. The gifts are
distributed to local Linden children.
Project Timothy
This mission allows our young people to
explore and experience hands-on ministry. Students
with an adult leader travel to sites across North
America and around the world to learn more about
themselves, teamwork, their faith and their place in
the church. Projects range from Vacation Bible
School, day camps, to service projects at missions,
food pantries and homeless shelters.
