Area residents are invited to join in The United Church of Rowayton’s fall food drive October 1-9, to help fill the shelves at Person-to-Person (P2P). “This is the first year for our newly remodeled food program at P2P,” says Susan Zelman, site manager. “Our goal is healthier eating habits and lifestyles,” she says. “The new program can be seen at MyPlate.gov.”
Non-perishable food donations are welcome such as canned beans and lentils, canned tuna, salmon and chicken in water, canned or boxed soups, stews and chilies, 100% fruit spread, pasta sauce, and healthy snacks such as protein, breakfast and granola bars, unsalted nuts and seeds, whole grain crackers and single-bag popcorn. Bill Peltz, with the church’s Board of Christian Outreach, says, “Hunger is not limited to the holidays.

Parents and their children ages pre-K thru eighth grade are invited to attend a Christian Education Open House at the United Church of Rowayton on Sunday, Sept. 17, 2017, at 11:15 a.m.
During the open house, parents and children will be able to talk with teachers about what is taught during the classes. They also can learn about the crafts children create as part of the classroom experience. “The children’s lessons talk about the same message that is covered during the adult worship service,” said Valerie Harden, director of Christian Education. “The open house is an excellent opportunity for parents and their children to meet with the teachers to get a better understanding about the Christian Education program here at the church,” she said.

A backpack drive now under way at the United Church of Rowayton for the Department of Children and Families (DCF) is to have more children start the next school year with backpacks filled with school must-haves
