WELCOME TO UNION CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH

No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here. We worship in God’s house and all of God’s children are welcome here. God’s communion table is open, not closed. We advocate justice for all and extend hospitality as a sign of God’s inclusive love.

Our church’s mission is to change lives — individually, systemically and globally and we work to make transformation possible, but trust in God’s grace. Churches must be places of vitality in worship, learning and advocacy. Why?  ♥Because God is still speaking.♥




Benevolence Outreach News

For the last four school years Union Church has sponsored a free after-school tutoring program for students usually in grades kindergarten through fifth grade. It started as a result of the lag many students experienced in their educational learning due to the pandemic and missed instruction time.  Most students have been recommended by classroom teachers and some have taken part for more than one year. In all twenty-five boys and girls have benefitted from our one-on-one or small group instruction.
 
Each Tuesday afternoon Mary Terry would greet each child and provide snuffed animals and candy upon their departure. Melissa Embling provided tasty snacks and water for the children to enjoy. Break time was always a hit with Dominos, Connect 4, puzzles and other games. Of course there was a lot of learning taking place thanks to the many dedicated tutors who worked with the children. This year the volunteer tutors were Donna Crawford, Judy Earley, Maryjane Starr, Deb Janes, Debbie Westcott, Laurie Winslow, and Carol Turkett.

This program has been another wonderful outreach of Union Church for the children in the Churchville community. It’s a perfect example of Jesus’s teaching, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” (Matthew 19:14)

HELPING OUR NEIGHBORS
Several churches have joined together to provide food for families who need a little extra help in the Churchville/Riga area. Despite this combined effort, the food shelves at Union Church are always in need of replenishment. Donations of canned and non-perishable food items are always appreciated. If you are interested in donating, please call 585-293-1665 to make arrangements.
