The Strengthen the Church Offering supports congregations and leader across the United Church of Christ as they respond to the Spirit’s call to be united in Christ for a more just world for all. The challenges our congregations face vary:

• Some seek ways to strengthen youth ministry

• Some hope to start new congregations

• Some look for innovative ways to renew existing congregations

• Some need help developing leaders

The giving in your congregation can ensure congregations get the help they need from their conference and the national ministries of the UCC. Together we can answer the Spirit’s call to be united in Christ for a just world for all. Make checks payable to FCC, re:STC or donate through FCC website.

Thursday, June 19th
The Thursday Study Group will focus on this insightful book written by leading American rabbi - Sharon Brous. Rabbi Brous makes the case that the spiritual work of our time, as instinctual as it is counter-cultural, is to find our way to one other in celebration, in sorrow, and in solidarity. To show up for each other in moments of joy and pain, vulnerability and possibility, to invest in relationships of shared purpose and build communities of care. Group meets from 9:30-10:30 am in the church lounge and on Zoom. Cost of book is $15 - weekly chapter handouts are also available. Pastor Julia, leader.
