This Week at WCUCC - May 31, 2023

May 31, 2023

Order A WCUCC T-Shirt

We are placing another order for church t-shirts this week! They are great for lots of occasions, but particularly for PRIDE events. The deadline to order is this Friday, June 2, at noon. The cost is $22/each.

Note: The only size not available is a medium, so if that's the size you typically order, I encourage you to order a large and expect it to shrink just a tiny bit.

Strengthen the Church Offering

This Sunday, our Mission Board will be collecting for the Strengthen the Church Offering. This offering reflects the shared commitment of people across the United Church of Christ to cooperatively build up the UCC. Conferences and the national setting equally share the gifts given by members and friends through their local congregations. The funds raised support leadership development, new churches, youth ministry, and innovation in existing congregations.

Our Connection Groups have officially launched! These WCUCC small groups allow us to gather in the spirit of Christian fellowship. We believe we learn how to care for and support each other best when we have spent time playing, dining, serving, and learning together. From Fitness Friends to Christian Crafters, there's something for everyone! To read the descriptions, click here, and to join a group, email Pastor Susan.
