CONTRIBUTION FOR CHACARASECA AND COMMISSIONING – Today there will be a onetime collection taken to purchase supplies needed to build a latrine for a family in Chacaraseca. A group of UCC members that are traveling to Chacraseca in January with Paul and will be installing the latrine as one of the projects they will be completing while there. Look for baskets outside the sanctuary and a basket in Fellowship Hall. During January, the coin collection each Sunday will go to support our members’ mission in Chacaraseca. Next month, the coin collection will once again go to the Head-to-toe Hycigne Pantry.

Photographs will be taken between 2:00-9:00 on weekdays, and 10:00-5:00 weekends. Please take a look at your calendar to find the best date to have your picture taken for our directory. 2018 is the 35th anniversary for UCC and we would like to get as many of you in the directory as possible. This directory will also highlight the history of UCC. We are now beginning to contact congregants to schedule appointments online.
