Christian Concerns
Christian Concerns is our committee that helps our congregation engage with both the local community and larger charitable efforts through our Concern of the Month. Past causes have included donating prayer books to our troops overseas, collecting diapers and other baby needs for Canton’s Pregnancy Support Center, and donating toys and learning materials for local agencies who deal with tramautized children. Meeting times vary.

Annual events include our Easter Pancake Breakfast, our summer picnic, weekly domino game nights, trips to local sporting events such as Cleveland Indians games.
