Outreach
  Members of Ozaukee Congregational Church show the power of God’s love by humbly doing good things in His name. From our youngest members to our most senior, our church community is actively, quietly involved.  
   
 

Locally
Church members are active in the local community. You’ll find them in these places:
• Habitat for Humanity
• Salvation Army Bell Ringing
• CROP Walk to Fight Hunger
• Advocates
• Nehemiah Project
• Interfaith Caregivers

• The Ozaukee Humane Society

• Literacy Services of Wisconsin, Inc.

 
 
 
 

Farther Afield
We aren’t certain of many things, but one thing we know for sure: the truest way to spread the spirit of Christianity is by giving freely, and without expectation, of ourselves.

A BIG thank you to

Peggy Tracy and Tim Maguire. 

Briggs & Stratton donated a snow blower to the Guest House (through Peggy Tracy).  Tim offered his assistance in picking it up and  he and Peggy delivered it. 

What a great gift for the Guest House.

 

 

 

 

Ozaukee Habitat for Humanity needs more volunteers for our

up-coming build this spring in Grafton. The lot is right behind the Sendiks Market. Our goal is to build three (3) houses on that property. Volunteers can help in many ways beyond the normal construction tasks. We have a large need for people with administrative and organizational skills to support the build. Some examples are:

              Volunteer Coordinator

              Family Selection Committee

              Coordinate lunches during the build

              And yes, FUND RAISING

 If you or any of your friends are interested in this worthwhile project, please contact our current president, Peter Dundon at 262-241-4770.

Thanks for your volunteerism & generosity!

From ringing bells at Shopko for the Salvation Army to bringing Christmas gifts for the folks at Advocates—and from welcoming members of the Cortes family from Mexico to giving to our Christmas Offering—our church reached out a lot in December. Thank you! (The Christmas Offering will be split equally between Advocates and Mission Mazahua.

Watch your worship bulletin in January for a report on the total.)

The Miracle

of the Bell

Description: C:\Documents and Settings\kay\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\OEUG89IG\MC900354029[1].wmfOur total this year was $13,748.19.  It is second to last year's record amount by about $600.  All shifts are very important, but it was critical that we filled the last week before Christmas.  We hadn't even reached $10,00 until Sat. December 17.

Thank you to all who gave their time to fill the schedule the last week.  We raised a record amount for one week of $4556.17!  The Champion bell ringers for this year were the Phil & Sherri Hughes family with five shifts.  Honorable mention goes to Paul Tehan, Ed & Delores Wrathall with three shifts.  We also had 13 people/families that took two shifts.  Thank you everyone!
