Second Congregational Church, Londonderry, VT

The Mission Committee was started in 2007 and is charged with two distinct tasks: There is a modest allotment of funds as part of the annual budget of the Congregation. The Mission Committee meets quarterly to consider requests for help and to disburse these allotted funds. The second task that the Mission Committee is charged with is educating the congregation about international, national and local needs. To that end, the Mission Committee publishes articles in the Outreach and periodically has special offerings, where additional funds for disaster relief and special projects are gathered. In this way the ‘background work’ by the Mission Committee can be shared with the Congregation and the congregation can contribute, if they choose, to the special appeals knowing that the Mission Committee has done its work!

Some of the organizations that have been supported have been:

Local
- Londonderry Cares,
