St. Peter's United Church of Christ
Faith, Fellowship and Service

Our congregation is small, but the CHARITY freely given for a variety of purposes is dedicated with passion as a Christian duty. Members willingly dedicate thier time, money, and creativity to uplift and support those in need.

​

We have a strong mission presence in our congregation, working to raise funds for Plymouth Crossroads, gathering food for needy families in our area, and sponsoring a Giving Tree at Christmas.

WAYS YOU CAN HELP AT ST. PETER'S:

FOOD DONATIONS:  The Mission Committee sponsors a food pantry to address emergency food insecurity issues in our church or community. Donations of non-perishable food items are always appreciated and can be placed in the barrel in the glass vestibule during church office hours. There are also times during the year when specific perishable food items are accepted to provide holiday dinners to deserving families. Contact St. Peter's if you would like to donate or are in need of food.

CLOTHING DONATIONS:  The Clothing Shed in the front parking lot of the church collects and redistributes gently-used clothing to organizations and people all over the world. We use the funds raised to support Phebian Abdulai's work in Sierra Leone. Clothing should be put in plastic bags, tied securely and deposited in the clothing shed. It is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Please DO NOT put any household items, pillows, electronics, toys or books in the shed.

 

​WAYS YOU CAN HELP IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY:

PLYMOUTH CROSSROADS: (www.plymouthcrossroads.org)   

Plymouth Crossroads is a not-for-profit organization in West Seneca which welcomes disconnected, abused and homeless males ages 16-20. Caring staff members help these youths develop their own plan for an independent path to their future. They work in conjunction with the young men to develop healthy paths to a productive future by offering the necessary tools they need to be self-supportive and avoid long-term dependency on social services. As a voluntary program, services are aimed at preventing recidivism, while promoting a more stable and productive lifestyle, with a goal for every youth to transform into a contributing and productive member of society. To donate, contact 716-393-3906.
