WonderKids Program
Become a Reading Coach

Be a WonderKids Reading Coach

WonderKids is looking for more Armstrong Chapel volunteers to help Milford elementary students build reading skills and confidence. No teaching experience is needed—just about two hours a week and a willingness to care for a child.

Serving Our Community Through Tutoring

The after-school program meets Tuesdays and Wednesdays during the school year through April, only when school is in session.

Grow a leader, become a reading coach!

Volunteers serve on one of the following days 

  • Tuesdays: 4:00–6:25 PM
  • Wednesdays: 3:15–5:45 PM

Questions? Contact Corina Hammerle at corina@milfordfirstumc.org

Thank you for your past and continued commitment to supporting children in our surrounding community.

Anyone can do it! No teaching experience needed!

Armstrong Garden Ministry for IPM
Share the bounty of your garden with neighbors in need.
 

For the second year, Maureen Smith has lovingly planted a vegetable garden in the Preschool's fenced area behind the church to help support our mission partner, Inter Parish Ministry (IPM).

If your home garden produces more than you can use, we invite you to share your harvest with neighbors in need. Simply bring your fresh fruits or vegetables to church on Sunday and place them in the IPM donation box located between the Atrium doors.

Each Monday, we deliver the fresh produce, along with all other donated items, to IPM, helping provide healthy, nourishing food to families throughout our community.

Together, we can grow hope, share God's abundance, and make a meaningful difference—one harvest at a time.

WOW God!

Armstrong's Sunday School Program
Needs Your Help and support!

We need volunteers for ArmstrongKids

We need volunteers for ArmstrongKids and be a part of a beautiful journey in nurturing and guiding incredible kids towards Christ! From Sunday School to special events and VBS, we invite you to experience the tremendous blessing of working together in building relationships with these young souls.

We have an exciting opportunity for a "welcome" staff role to greet families and provide guidance. Imagine the impact you can make by dedicating just 1 hour a month! Consider the possibilities of sharing 2, 3, or even 4 hours with these amazing children. Pray about where God is leading you to serve and witness the transformation in the lives of these kids. Your contribution to ArmstrongKids could be the beacon of light these young hearts need.

A Prayer Shawl and Creative Ministry 

Meets every Third Tuesday morning, from 10:30 am -12:00 pm

Everyone is Welcome!

Approximately 100 handmade items were distributed to individuals and non-profits each year! 

We hope you will gather for our regular monthly meeting on the Third Tuesday morning, from 10:30 am -12:00 pm (noon) on location close to the church, contact the office for more information on the location.  Everyone is welcome to enjoy the fellowship that comes from making a small difference in the lives of those who might benefit from a handmade item on their journey to wholeness. We will be working on prayer shawls, lap blankets, stuffed animals, etc.  You do not need to know how to knit, crochet, or sew to participate. There will be many options to help such as creating tags, bagging, and sorting. The fellowship will be as important as the mission work and we hope you will come and be a part of something special! Bring a friend!

We want to extend a huge thank you to the Hands & Hearts Ministry for their incredible work! Their dedication to making Teddy Bears for the families of Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) is truly a blessing. These adorable bears bring comfort and joy to those who need it most, and it's all thanks to the time and effort of the Hands & Hearts Ministry team.

Their selfless act of kindness is a wonderful reminder of God's love and care for us. It's amazing to see how a simple gesture can bring so much happiness to a family in need. We're grateful for this and their commitment to serving others. May their good work continue to inspire and uplift our community!
