THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROUS SUPPORT!

Thank you for your prayerful consideration of a gift to sustain this work of our churches. Thank you for helping create the kind of sacred spaces where holy ground transforms despair into hope, fear into self-confidence, anger into compassion, judgment into hospitality, and disdain into love.
The Strengthen the Church Offering supports the work of our conference and the national United Church of Christ to become a multi-racial/multi-cultural church, accessible to all. The offering funds leadership development, youth and young adult ministries, and new and renewing congregations.

Hello Everyone,
Just want to let you know that we are accepting donations again at the Richmond Community Food Pantry. Our building issue has been resolved. It was a long five weeks, but we are back to normal now.
Thank you, and God bless.
Michele,
Richmond Community Food Pantry
