The Inreach Team is our ministry that supports the First Church family of members and guests by being a visible manifestation of caring for one and all. We strive to accomplish this through a variety of work groups including: Parish Care, Hospitality, and Fellowship. We welcome and encourage membership involvement.
Please check out our past photo gallery pages by going to the drop down menu. Inreach touches the lives of our church members and others in the community and involves members in the life of the church in many ways:
Join your friends at First Church for conversation, conviviality, and community for our combination potluck and guess who’s coming to dinner, which is held 3 times during the year. We call it “Gather Round the Table”. See Matha Calef, Linda Moffitt, or Susan Tobin at coffee hour through the end of September to ask questions and sign up. All ages are welcome and encouraged to stop by and talk with us. The first round of dinners will begin in October. 
Creative Crafters was started in 2019 to knit or crochet twiddlemuffs for local memory care facilities. Projects were eventually expanded to fulfill church and community needs. We’ve crafted and donated over 200 twiddlemuffs, bed quilts, shawls, lap blankets, hats, mittens and scarfs.
Each Wednesday morning, at 10 a.m. folks meet over coffee and tea at Hartford Baking Company on Farmington Ave. Park at church and walk over to join us. Anyone is welcome for this casual social time.
Sponsoring altar flowers is a meaningful way to honor or remember loved ones and is also part of our In-reach ministry. Please use this 
Inreach keeps in touch with church members and our youth with volunteers who send cards and notes for birthdays, holidays and other occasions. Volunteers also provide members in need with transportation to church and keep in touch with members through Phone Friends.
