Sunday, October 05, 2025: Neighbors in Need Special Offering
/
Gifts to the Neighbors in Need offering support ministries of justice and compassion in the United Church of Christ, including the UCC Office of Public Policy & Advocacy in Washington D.C.
The UCC Washington D.C. Office was called into being by a resolution at General Synod 10 in 1975. The office was assigned to identify, analyze, and forecast social issues which called for the attention of the church. The work has always been guided by the discernment of the UCC through General Synod gatherings and resolutions that collectively witness to God’s call.
Each week the Washington D.C. Office creates an action alert to help give church members the opportunity to contact legislators simply and easily. In 2025 these weekly alerts have encouraged church members to fight for disability housing accommodations, to stop the gun violence epidemic, and to support environmental justice for all.
A special offering will be collected on October 5, 2025. You can donate online or in person. Be sure to designate your gift for Neighbors in Need (either by selecting Neighbors in Need when donating online or by noting Neighbors in Need on your check of offering envelope in person).
