Thank you for your giving
It is encouraging to see both new and familiar faces at our worship services. Throughout the year, many of you already support the congregation with your time, talent and financial contributions but greater participation is always welcome. We encourage you to look into our electronic giving program. It takes just a few minutes to set up a recurring giving plan. Contact the church office for more details or pick up an authorization form today.

Prayer for Peace
A Prayer for Peace for not only Ukraine, but the 84 million displaced families around the world.
|
|
The PCCUCC Virtual Choir performs a traditional Orthodox Kyrie from Ukraine. |
|
To whom much is given, much will be required. (Luke 12:48).
The strife in Ukraine has caused us to pause, to pray, and to wonder how we can help the displaced people. We worry if our donations are being used for people and not overheard? We wonder if our donations can make a difference. We feel helpless. But there is a site to help us learn where to give. What is safe.
No donation is too small. They add up and help to give comfort, strength, and courage.
“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2
