General Synod 2023 Service Project

Back in April we were notified of the service project at this year’s General Synod to be held in Indianapolis June 28 through July 4th.  If we raised $250, we could apply for a $250 UCC kits matching grant.  We raised $350, applied and received the grant.

Each kit contained two 2 oz. bottles hand sanitizer, three 4-galon bathroom trash bags, one travel pack of Wet ones, ten unscented tampons ( 5 regular and 5 super), ten unscented sanitary napkins, one bath size bar of soap, one pack of flushable wipes, and six laundry detergent sheets.

Several ladies from the church got together on June 28th and put together 57 kits!  Once they were completed, we delivered them to a delegate from another church in our area who took them to Indy.

UCC surpassed their 1,000 goal and 3,157 kits were put together!

Painting Party June 2023

We held a painting party fundraising event on June 14th.  The painters could chose between creating on canvas or painting on a tote bag.  

The money raised will go to Churches United’s Thanksgiving in July for local food pantries!  We were assigned the Friendly House in Davenport.

Great job, ladies!
