The Synod of the Northeast invites YOU to join a powerful day of service, fellowship, and faith as we partner with Jimersontown and Wright Memorial Presbyterian Churches—two congregations located within the Seneca Nation of Indians. This is more than a mission day—it’s a movement of love and solidarity.

Jimersontown Church Needs Your Helping Hands!

This sacred space is ready for a deep refresh—and your presence can make it happen. We’re looking for volunteers, skilled craftsmen, & landscapers or those who love to plant and garden to:

  • Deep clean 5 Sunday School rooms

  • Organize and clean 3 small storage rooms

  • Assemble 6 steel shelving units

  • Repair the front portico by replacing 4'x8' wind-blocking plastic panels

  • Scrub and sanitize the kitchen, including shelves, cupboards, and drawers

  • Transport debris to the city dump

  • Patch mouse holes and entryways

  • Clean windows and 8 stunning stained-glass panels

Wright Memorial Church is Calling, Too!

Be part of refreshing this historic site with tasks such as:

  • Clean and polish the Dining Hall floors

  • Repair the handicap ramp and add treads to both entrances

  • Plant one or more trees to enhance beauty and honor growth

  • Landscape the sides and front of the church

  • Install a new kitchen window above the sink

Why Join Us?

This Mission Day isn’t just about fixing buildings—it’s about strengthening our covenantal ties with the Seneca Nation, honoring the sacred land and stories of our Indigenous siblings, and answering God’s call to be builders of unity and care.

Whether you're a seasoned volunteer or new to mission service, your time, skills, and spirit are deeply needed and appreciated.

Register today and be part of this sacred moment of repair, renewal, and relationship.
Let’s serve together—heart, hands, and hope.
