GET INVOLVED

The building may be closed, but the good news is...
Church has not been cancelled!


Because of you - and the time, talent, and treasure you bring - Federated’s “doors” are swinging wide open. You are helping us learn new ways of being together while we’re apart. THANK YOU for being with us and inspiring us during these times. We all continue to be the church because of you!


The Congregational Contact Ministry is looking for volunteers to make 5 calls a week from our church directory to have a one- time personal check in.  You will be provided with list of people to call each week and a script of upcoming events and news to share with each call recipient.  When could be a better time for us to reach out to one another and just let someone know their church family is thinking about them?  This is a great way to get involved and meet new church members from the comfort and safety of your own home.  Our goal is to get through the entire church directory and let each household know that Federated loves and cares for them. Contact Peggie Jo Shinagawa for questions or to sign up.  pjshinagawa@windstream.net or call 440-543-5974
