Neighbors in Need: Remember that we're collecting for one of our four UCC Special Offerings this month. Funds collected for Neighbors in Need are used for compassion and justice ministries, and 40% goes to CAIM (the UCC Council on American Indian Ministries). When you send your gifts for this offering, please be sure to mark it as such.

UCC Strengthen the Church Offering
During the month of May, we collect one of four annual special offerings for the UCC called "Strengthen the Church." This offering reflects our shared commitment as people across the United Church of Christ to cooperatively support leadership development, new churches, youth ministry, and innovation in existing congregations. Through your generosity, we build up the Body of Christ.

Additional Chances!
Remember that, even though we most encourage you to gather in worship at 10:15, the videos remain available at our YouTube channels afterward, so you can go back and catch Holy Week services you missed, or join in with our partner congregation’s worship for an MCC experience! Here is the YouTube channel link: Community of Hope UCC.

Weekly Bible Readings
Within the Worship-to-Go booklet are some general Bible reading options, but if you’d specifically like to connect with what is read in worship and reflect on those.
