FELLOWSHIP AND OUTREACH
2025
GILMANTON COMMUNITY CHURCH
As another year has come to close, 2026 is underway. We can look back on our
accomplishments.

Our new Pastor Dr Jeff Lavoie and his wonderful family are now part of our
Church family! They are here just in time to join in our celebration of our 200 th
year. The 200 th Anniversary committee has been hard at work planning and
arranging the many layers and facets of this monumental Celebration.
Our fundraising events for the 200th including Community Lunch, Food for
Thought, Christmas Tea, and Vendor Tables were an immense success. Our
wreaths this year were sold in memory of Kristine Faulkingham.

All our events could not have been accomplished without the time and dedication of all the volunteers who unselfishly worked tirelessly to make every event a remarkable success proving what
Fellowship is all about!

Our other fund-raising events, such as our Famous Strawberry Shortcake on the
Fourth of July, garnered another 1000.00 Dollars.
In addition, we were able to provide meals to Isiaha’s 61 on fourteen separate
occasions, which in turn allowed us to provide over 1700 individual meals. This
could not have been accomplished without the generous monetary donations as
well as hundreds of pounds of meat, vegetables, and staple items. Other
Fellowship activities are our weekly Cribbage group currently on Monday’s, social
time starts at 17:30 (5:30 pm).
In our continuing service to the Community, we were able to provide
confidential help and services to 15 Families. This is a valuable service that we are
able to provide via donations and our Nameless group of dedicated volunteers .In
addition to our group of outreach assistance volunteers ; It is my great pleasure
to work with another group of dedicated individuals, who without their help and
assistance we would never be able to provide the Wonderful meals created here.

From preparation to cooking, from serving to cleanup, each one of these jobs are
reliant upon the others. These elements support all our events; without one,
everything risks collapsing. I thank all of you! I would not attempt these
undertakings without you.
