You’re invited to help strengthen the church on Pentecost, the birthday of the church. The Strengthen the Church (STC) Offering reflects the shared commitment of people across the United Church of Christ to cooperatively build up the UCC. The funds raised support leadership development, new churches, youth ministry, and innovation in existing UCC congregations. By your generosity to this offering, you build up the Body of Christ. This offering will be taken on Pentecost Sunday, May 24! You can give through tithl.y or putting it in the offering plate.

BTW Emily Wheeland, Executive Director, informed us that volunteers like us help the Delores Project save an estimated $200,000 annually in their budget. How is that for impact?
