| CROP WALK - OCTOBER |
| The first Sunday in October church members join with people from all over the Upper Valley to walk to raise money to fight hunger. The walk begins and ends in Lebanon and all proceeds are divided between Church World Service and local hunger relief programs. Sign up sheets for walking or pledging are available in the church on Sundays preceding the walk. |
| CHRISTMAS MARKET - NOVEMBER |
|
Our church organizes and runs a wonderful Christmas Market in early November, selling international and domestic arts and crafts for non-profit and service organizations. All money raised at the Christmas Market is returned directly to the artists and organizations whose goods we sell. Last year we raised over $60,000. |

| MISSISSIPPI TRIP - FEBRUARY |
| People from our church travel to Sherard, MS. to work with Habitat for Humanity.
