Heart-to-Heart is an outreach program designed to help overcome grief and depression.  Group therapy and individual sessions are available to help people cope through these heart-breaking times

On the first Saturday of the month, a luncheon is served to local Senior Citizens.  Fellowship and good food are enjoyed by all who attend.  Occasionally, the group is entertained by local pianists or the Pittsfield Community Church’s Youth Handbell Choir.
