Area Council of Churches Names Steffen Leader in Bennington
At the Bennington Area Ecumenical Council meeting held in the First United Methodist Church parlor, Rev. Thomas Steffen was named chairman and treasurer of the Emergency Food and Fuel Fund for the Bennington area. The Second Congregational Church donated $200 as seed money, bringing the fund to over $800 with additional church contributions. Aimed at aiding low income families, the fund operates under William Barry of the Department of Social Welfare and Tina Calabro of the local Opportunity Council, amid state funding cuts. The council plans Week of Prayer and Unity observances, Lent study groups led by Mrs. Lotti Tobler, World Council of Churches meetings, and weekly Lenten breakfasts and Good Friday services. The next executive meeting is Feb. 4 at 4:30 p.m. in the parlor of the First United, with attendees including Dr. Vogell and several pastors.
