Local Missions

Warm Nights

• In January or February, we deliver a grab and go breakfast and sack lunch for Warm Nights residents. We also provide laundry supplies, cash for washing machines/dryers, and toiletries. Sunday school classes as well as volunteers from the congregation assist in making the sandwiches. Three hundred and fifty sandwiches are made for the week for sack lunches along with fruit, cookies, water and a treat. Breakfast is also provided for fifty people each day in addition to extra snacks and juices.

Hudson House

• Hudson House is an efficiency apartment attached to CCPC’s fellowship hall that was designed to provide temporary housing for someone in need. CCPC partners with Community Crisis Services, Inc (CCSI) to match us with a resident who would benefit from this transitional housing arrangement. Mission committee with support from Buildings and Grounds makes sure the apartment is well maintained and that all supplies, furnishings, etc are in place for the residents. We serve as a point of contact for the residents throughout their stay to help ensure a safe and supportive environment.

Alpha House

• CCPC collaborates with St. Matthews Methodist Church to assist in maintaining and furnishing Alpha House in Bowie. Alpha House has been used in recent years to provide transitional housing for a refugee family from Afghanistan. CCPC members supported the refugee family by assisting with English language tutoring and purchasing backpacks and school supplies for the children.

Bowie Interfaith Pantry and Bowie Interfaith Emergency Aid Fund

• We support the Bowie Food Pantry through monthly donations and periodically collect canned goods and other wish list items for delivery to the pantry. Every year, the children and youth participate in the Souper Bowl of Caring with donations going to the Bowie Food Pantry.

Christmas Angels

• Every year, beginning in October, congregation members can adopt a Christmas Angel as part of the Salvation Army Christmas Angel Tree project. We also have had teams of volunteers each year help sort and distribute the angel tree gifts at the Salvation Army Warehouse in Hyattsville.
