Worship with Us this Weekend!

Join us this 5^th Sunday of January at our One Family Worship Service at 10:00am. Our scripture passages are Micah 6, Psalm 15 and Matthew 5:1-12 with a sermon entitled Is this the Real World? The Gospel Lesson gives us the Beatitudes -guiding principles of Jesus'. They are challenging. How do we live by these at PUCC and in the world? What would we add/subtract from this list? What are the reverberations and repercussions from what we believe and live out?

Annual Budget Meeting

Sunday, January 29 | following 10:00am One Family Worship

Immediately following the closing hymn, please sit back down and settle in for the Annual Budget Meeting. The 2017 budget will be presented and discussed, culminating with a congregational vote. The annual budget looks like just a lot of numbers, but it's much more than that-it's a foundation of our vibrant mission ministry! The Stewardship Commission and Church Council have been preparing for this meeting for quite some time. Come celebrate PUCC and catch the winds of the Spirit as we move further into 2017 together.

Toy Collection the month of January

We will be collecting USED TOYS for the BRO (Board of Religious Organizations) during the month of January from Jan. 8th to Jan. 29th. A large box will be in the Gathering Space. These toys will be renewed and given to needy families next Christmas. It sounds far off, but the BRO's elves have emptied their shelves and are anxious to get to work for next year. These toys go to St. Louis families: the largest number of recipients are referred by our UCC Neighborhood Houses.

Here's a good chance to clear out and RECYCLE for a good cause. Contact Naomi Runtz for more information: 314-993-0469 | [email protected]

One of my favorite snippets of the Mary Tyler Moore show is the funeral of Chuckles the clown. It resonates with me because every funeral is different and yet there are such overlap and common human experience there.
