UCC Neighbors In Need Offering 10/2/22

Christ Congregational Church is part of the larger United Church of Christ (UCC) denomination.  The UCC sponsors the Neighbors In Need (NIN) offering, which we will receive on Sunday, October 2, 2022.  This special offering supports the UCC’s ministries of justice and compassion throughout the United States with a focus on economic justice.

This year’s theme is “Behold!”

“Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you…”

James 5:4

One-third of the NIN funds support for the Council for American Indian Ministry.  Two-thirds of this offering is used by the UCC’s Justice and Witness Ministries to provide funding grants to UCC churches and organizations leading justice initiatives, advocacy efforts and direct service projects in their communities.
