Sock Ministry
Ah, the humble sock. It is something many of us take for granted. But for people experiencing homelessness a dry, clean pair of socks can be a small help for getting through the day. Thus, the sock ministry was born at NGCC. We continually collect socks and distribute them in various places: Chapel on the Green in New Haven, Church on the Pond in Hartford, and on the streets of New York City.

Guilford Interfaith Ministries encompasses the Guilford Food Bank, Meals on Wheels, and Friendly Visiting-three foundation organizations providing support for the Guilford Community.
NGCC collects donations for the Food Bank on a weekly basis, as well as running specific food drives. We support Meals on Wheels through our missions funds and through specific collection drives. |
NGCC is a proud member and supporter of the Southern New England Conference of the United Church of Christ
and the United Church of Christ. The UCC was founded in 1957, bringing together four denominations. The Connecticut Conference provides support for individual UCC churches in a myriad of ways. Recently they have helped us revitalize our Youth Ministry, work through a period of transitional ministry, and learn about stewardship.
Did you ever wonder what the comma means in the UCC logo? It means that God did not stop talking when the Bible was first published. The comma logo was inspired by the Gracie Allen quote, "Never place a period where God has placed a comma." It reminds us to balance our rich religious past with openness to new ideas, new people, and new possibilities of the future.
Yes, God is Still Speaking, and His voice is heard very clearly through the state and national UCC ministry.
