Vacation Bible School
Join us this summer for Compassion Camp: Changing the World with Lovingkindness™
Compassion Camp™ “is a program where kids and families explore what it means to have compassion for others, ourselves, and the world.”[1] Each day we’ll explore themes of compassion as they relate to the day’s scripture through music, arts and crafts, movement, games, and more! Together we will examine different places in our lives where we can cultivate compassion.
Fairhaven’s Compassion Camp™ will take place July 26th, 27th & 28th from 6:00-8:00 p.m. While the content is designed with children ages PreK-5th grade in mind, we hope that children and families of all ages will join us! Weather permitting, we'll be outside on the church grounds, but if it storms or is too hot, we'll move indoors.
Please register here!
Prayer Shawl Ministry
Fairhaven’s Prayer Shawl Ministry got it’s start under the auspices of the Fairhaven United Women in Faith in the summer of 2010. It quickly spread to include other members of the congregation who were interested in using their needlework skills to support this outreach activity.
The shawls are provided to individuals who are in need of comfort due to illness or loss; for new babies; for newly married couples. The shawls have been sent worldwide – from the Philippines to Great Britain and across the United States. And yes, some have been shared with our furry family members as they approach the Rainbow Bridge.
Currently we meet monthly using Zoom as well as in person. We welcome all knitters, crocheters and anyone interested in sewing on labels.
