 Housing insecurity is an issue for four in 10 CSU students. Lutheran Campus Ministry, in collaboration with churches like us, decided to do something about it: Subsidize the cost of housing and provide the opportunity to be safe in community with one another. Your gifts will support 18 students this year. Learn all about our student support August event and more at their special web page, where you can also see a video of the students! plymouthucc.org/studentsupport Share the Plate provided $879.28 for this project (this does not include money raised separately by the Welcome Event).

The annual Strengthen the Church (STC) Offering reflects the shared commitment of people across the United Church of Christ to cooperatively build up the UCC. Conferences and the national setting equally share the gifts given by members and friends through their local congregations.
The funds raised support leadership development, new churches, youth ministry, and innovation in existing congregations. By your generosity to this offering, you build up the Body of Christ.
As God calls our congregations to be the church in new ways, your generosity will plant new churches, awaken new ideas in existing churches and develop the spiritual life in our youth and young adults.
We sent $359.50 to this ministry partner.
