Free Community Dinners
Christ Church also hosts a free Community Dinner on the last Saturday of every month. Anyone, regardless of hunger status, is invited to participate in this fellowship meal.
The meal begins with a prayer and includes a main dish, side dishes, and often a dessert.
If you know of someone who would benefit greatly from this ministry but is homebound or is unable to come for any reason, please let us know at our contact us page and we will gladly include them!

Daughters of the King,
Mother Theresa Chapter
The Mother Theresa chapter of the Daughters of the King is devoted to prayer. We pray for our clergy and for all those who request our prayers. We commit to holding up in prayer all those who request it, always respecting the confidentiality of those who request prayer. You may ask for prayer by filling out the paper at the back of the sanctuary during services, or email us here.

Herkimer Vacation Bible School
Herkimer VBS is an ecumenical (multi-church, multi-sect) non-profit organization that provides a one week Vacation Bible School experience for Herkimer Area children and youth. Planning begins in February and VBS most often occurs the last week of July. All donations and donated money goes to providing the children with the activities, and providing background checks of all volunteers so that every adult involved aligns with the strict requirements of the Safe Sanctuaries program.

Winter Coat Giveaway
Often held in late October, Christ Church holds a one-day event where anyone in need can come in from the cold, get a winter coat, hat, mittens, gloves, scarves, blankets, socks, toiletries, and limited canned goods. These items are collected throughout the year, are paired with our food and clothing pantry, and are often supplemented by Saint Mary's.
