Only God could know that the plan for a tired old brick school building was

to become a hubbub of community activity!!  Purchasing the property

in 2014, has allowed our church off-street parking, and more importantly

a huge community outreach opportunity.

              

Our church formed the Old Brick School Committee and developed the vision

The Old Brick School Community Center with the Mission Statement:

"To positively impact our Community with God's Love"

​

2020 Updates on OUR PLAN for the BUILDING:  

​

PHASE  1 - mostly done!

 - In the fall of 2017 - We moved "Bread for the Journey" Warren Food Pantry

into the building, giving us much needed room!

  - Also moved in the fall of 2017 - The "Children's Clothing Exchange", an outreach of our neighboring church, Warren Second Congregational Church!

- In 2018 & 2019, we finished Large Community Meeting Room, the Small Meeting Room next to it, and most fun of all the Teen/Youth Room!

- Trail Life Troop #1750 began meeting regularly in the fall of 2018,

the boys still hold their troop meetings regularly. 

 

More updates in 2000 through 2024 so far!

NEW Events: 2023 a February 22 a "Family Game Night with Pizza" for all ages!!

  Donations for Room Bookings are used to help pay the Utility Bills for the Building.

We are now looking ahead to improving the driveways and parking areas...     

     any donations for that big project are gratefully accepted,

it may take a while to raise enough funds!

​

Bread for the Journey, the Warren Food Pantry Preparation on Wednesdays,

 Open Hours on Thursdays... We are so thankful for the room needed for all of those.

The Children's Clothing Exchange, run by Second Congregational Church also is open at the same time.... free clothing for infants through teens!

   LED lights have replaced most of the fluorescent bulbs, cost savings over the long run!  Thank you Bill!

​

  - Praise the Lord for all the work done thus far and the willing Volunteers who do the work to refurbish from floor to ceiling

....lots of volunteer hours have been given.

Renovation Fundraising began with "Our Community Cookbook", a collection of favorite recipes submitted by friends and family.  We sold out of those!
