...We reflect Christ's compassion. ...We serve others.
We believe that the spirit of God endows each one of us with unique gifts to serve others. One of the most
important jobs we have here is helping our members discover their gifts and then find ways to share them with other members
and the community. That is ministry -- using our gifts, learning the needs of ours and the greater community, and setting
out to meet them according to the power and hope of the Gospel!
Our Missions include.....

On the 3rd Sunday of each month non-perishable food items are collected at the beginning of worship and taken monthly to
the food pantry. Items most needed are canned fruit, pasta, mac n cheese, tuna fish, cereal, apple juice, toilet paper
and laundry detergent. Grace Reformed Church

finanical assistance to our sister church in Newark, N.J. as well as collect and donate gently used clothing and
household items throughout the year. Family Promise of Hunterdon County (formerly known as IHN) Family Promise is
a non-profit organization of congregations that minister to the needs of homeless women and families. The network provides
shelter, sustenance, and support in caring settings while assisting its guests in resolving their homelessness. Family
Promise volunteers are part of a growing grassroots movement that brings congregations together to help homeless families
achieve independence and to work for permanent solutions. LRC serves as a support congregation to the hosting congregation;
Rockaway Reformed Church of Whitehouse (RRC). Twice a year, LRC volunteers prepare meals and enjoy a family style sit-down
dinner with the Family Promise guests, their children, and RRC volunteers. We also provide financial assistance.
