Communities Care Day

Monday October 10, 2022

8 am to 1 pm

Communities Care Day was a HUGE success, with over 70 adults attending with 55 children in tow! Fifty people received free haircuts and 6 lucky winners went home with Hannaford Gift Cards. Forty volunteers helped distribute clothes, coats, boots, bedding, and toiletries. Or helped prepare free breakfast or lunch. Or watched kiddos so parents could shop. Or talked about helpful resources in our community. Thank you.

Creating the Beloved Community

Building Community, Building Disciples

Our building might appear a little rough on the edges at times.  More importantly we love what happens inside, when people meet, groups gather and when caring occurs. 
Still, we love our old building and the history it contains. People have gathered to worship and serve God right here in the heart of Sanford for over 200 years. You can feel the presence of those saints from the past in our softly worn pews and in the sunlight that streams in the sanctuary windows on a Sunday morning. They inspire who we are today as we open our doors to the lost and the lonely, to those who hunger and thirst and to the many who want to work together bringing God's hope to our community and to the world.

Home: About Us

Who are we?

We are old and young.  Some of us live just down the street and others come from a ways away.  

Some drop in when time allows and others come every week.  

We know whoever you are and whenever you are able to come...you need to be here

and that God will always be in our midst. 

And....we are Cub Scouts on Monday nights, Boy Scouts on Tuesday nights, on Wednesday the Center for Grieving Children brings families from all of southern Maine and New Hampshire for support and care from a dedicated team of trained volunteers.

In the evening on the first and third Thursdays NAMI (the National Alliance on Mental Illness) gives support and hope.

The Third Thursday of every month we share a meal To Go...a Free for All 

that manages to lift our spirits and fill all who come with joy.

And talk about joy!  

No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey...you are welcome here!

"Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor. Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord."
