COMMUNION OFFERING
October is National Fire Prevention Month, so the communion offering for October is for The Milltown Fire Department. The Milltown Fire Department was organized in February of 1911 with a charter membership of 73 men. Prior to 1911 the city of New Brunswick was responsible for fire suppression in Milltown, but speed of communication and distance resulted in loss of property. They are an all-volunteer fire dept whose members must attend the same training classes and schools as paid fire fighters, but on their own time. Not only do they run calls in Milltown, but also a section of the NJ Turnpike. They offer mutual aid to other departments in surrounding towns when needed. They would not be able to serve the community without the dedication of their volunteers.
