The Deacons’ Ministry

The word deacon literally means ‘servant.’ The deacons serve the members of the church and assist the pastor. Some of their duties include ushering during Sunday worship, serving Communion at church and in homes, and making visitations to church members in times of need.

Community Meal Site

Every Friday evening from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. the Westbrook Congregational Church partners with The Shoreline Soup Kitchens & Pantries to provide a delicious meal open to the entire community.  There are no reservations required, there is no charge, and all are welcome to attend. Come join the feast!

Blessing Box

“Take what you need, bring what you can, above all be kind”
The ribbon cutting ceremony for our new Blessing Box is open for business! This space on Norris Avenue was chosen so that anyone in need can quietly and privately pull into the spot and take what they need from the Box. It is our dream that the Blessing Box will always be full and able to help those in need. Please continue to bring in items to stock it. Non-perishable items are best. Word is getting out to those in need. Westbrook Youth and Family Services has been notified and the schools will be as well. But please spread the word! Help us support our newest WCC mission. This is just the beginning!!!

Mission and Planning Committee

The WCC Mission and Planning Committee is responsible for organizing much of the congregation’s outreach work. This group puts on some fantastic events such as the Crop Walk, a holiday giving tree for children in need, food drives for the Shoreline Food Pantry, One Great Hour of Sharing, and more!
