Sunday, May 27th - Special Offering, Strengthen the Church  

A special Pentecost offering will be collected to Strengthen the Church, which will help us, through OCWM, to strengthen our connection to the wider church community, and help churches right here in our area. Strengthen the Church grows the UCC's future by funding new church starts and invigorating existing congregations, nurturing lay and pastoral leadership, building youth and young adult ministries, and supporting the God is Still Speaking Ministry and its extravagant welcome for all within the UCC. All gifts are directed to activities and programs of your church's local conference as well as the UCC's national ministries.
