Community Project Spring 2021

Dan D Rogers Elementary School

We adopted a community outreach project for students at Dan D. Rogers elementary school near us on Lovers Lane. For part one we collected enough items for 52 bags! Well done everyone! Will delivered them to the school today, April 13th. Thanks, Will!

Part two: We will invite those same kids to drive through the church circle drive on Sunday, April 25th from 1:00 – 3:00 P.M. to pick up perishable food items, which we as a church will collect and assemble that morning. If you would like to donate to this project, we are accepting monetary donations to make the purchases.

Great response! All of part two went to the Wilkinson Center pantry.

Neighbors in Need Offering

Neighbors in Need (NIN) is a special mission offering of the United Church of Christ that supports ministries of justice and compassion throughout the United States. One-third of NIN funds support the Council for American Indian Ministry(CAIM). Two-thirds of this offering is used by the UCC's Justice and Witness Ministries (JWM) to support a variety of justice initiatives, advocacy efforts, and direct service projects through grants. Neighbors in Need grants are awarded to UCC churches and organizations doing justice work in their communities. These grants fund projects whose work ranges from direct service to community organizing and advocacy to address systemic injustice. This year, special consideration will be given to projects focusing on serving our immigrant neighbors and communities.
