Outreach
“When was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?” And Jesus will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.” Matthew 25: 35-40
We value our active outreach ministry. We believe that God calls us to bless others with that which God has blessed us. Our location in the heart of Newport offers ample opportunity to do so within our own community and beyond. Compassion for our neighbors is an Emmanuel tradition.
Newport may have a reputation as a wealthy and cosmopolitan resort city, but it also suffers from one of the highest poverty rates in Rhode Island. We thus have a history of starting outreach programs to those in need.
You can help us continue this ministry by participating in one of the following Outreach Missions:
Soup’s On – 1st Tuesday of every month – 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm - Sign up to help feed the homeless and the hungry in Newport.
Neighborhood Breakfast – 1st Saturday of every month – 8:30 am to 9:30 am - Sign up to serve a free breakfast to the neighborhood.
Lucy’s Hearth – Make a donation of school supplies for a homeless shelter for women and children in Middletown.
Episcopal Charities Annual Fund Drive – Make a donation to support this funding agency for social programs within the Rhode Island Community.
Don Booth Community Outreach Week – April 17-24, 2010 – Thirteen people volunteered to work at the RI Food Bank, Save the Bay – Earth Day, Emmanuel Church Clean Up day and Martin Luther King Center Breakfast program.

Great Day of Service – Sign up to participate in the 5th annual event to be held on Monday, October 11, 2010. The day will provide an opportunity for people to come together to work side-by-side assisting local agencies and organizations in need of community work projects.
Martin Luther King Center – Feed a Friend Food Drive – November, 2010 - Collect non-perishable food items.
